My gold pair of Italian-made black sneakers have been doing very well for a while now, but they are also getting a bit worn out. For CyclingDestination, I was allowed to test the Eko\u00ef C4 race shoes. They are white, but fortunately with some black accents. And this is not just any shoe; under the race shoes, this is the flagship model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-id=\"18946\" src=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/IMG_01092-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Ella van der Veer, Ekoi C4 Race Cycling Shoe\" class=\"wp-image-18946\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/IMG_01092-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/IMG_01092-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/IMG_01092-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/IMG_01092-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/IMG_01092.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Text and photos: Ella van der Veer<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">More articles from Ella: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/en\/stories\/cycling-in-verbier-at-number-one\/\">Cycling in Verbier: number one by a mile<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/en\/stories\/roof-of-drenthe-literally-upgrades-vam-berg\/\">Drenthe's roof literally an upgrade of the VAM mountain<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Eko\u00ef C4 at a glance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>What: Eko\u00ef\u2019s top-of-the-range road shoe.<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Weight: around 230 grams per shoe, with a stiff carbon sole.<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Fit: notably wide at the front.

You can immediately see that this shoe is focused on performance. The sole is made of carbon and is anything but flexible. The shoes are closed with the Atop system, which always works very well and doesn\u2019t give any annoying pressure points. What also immediately stands out is the sleek look; I can see why white shoes are the standard. They complement any refined outfit excellently!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"769\" data-id=\"18950\" src=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/PXL_20240829_120821818.PORTRAIT-1024x769.jpg\" alt=\"Beautiful shoes\" class=\"wp-image-18950\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/PXL_20240829_120821818.PORTRAIT-1024x769.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/PXL_20240829_120821818.PORTRAIT-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/PXL_20240829_120821818.PORTRAIT-768x577.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/PXL_20240829_120821818.PORTRAIT-1536x1154.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/PXL_20240829_120821818.PORTRAIT.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"769\" data-id=\"18949\" src=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/PXL_20240829_120844024.PORTRAIT.ORIGINAL-1024x769.jpg\" alt=\"Twist closure\" class=\"wp-image-18949\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/PXL_20240829_120844024.PORTRAIT.ORIGINAL-1024x769.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/PXL_20240829_120844024.PORTRAIT.ORIGINAL-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/PXL_20240829_120844024.PORTRAIT.ORIGINAL-768x577.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/PXL_20240829_120844024.PORTRAIT.ORIGINAL-1536x1154.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/PXL_20240829_120844024.PORTRAIT.ORIGINAL.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Twist closure <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Strikingly wide front<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Time for the first fitting! As I mentioned, I actually only wear Italian shoes with corresponding narrow heels. I have very narrow feet and many shoes are too wide for me. When fitting the Eko\u00ef\u2019s I immediately noticed that the heel is very narrow, and with the anti-slip fabric on the inside you can\u2019t move at all. The front is on the wide side for me, but I\u2019ll try it anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Adjusting and going<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My first ride is mostly about getting used to it, adjusting the shoe plates and getting them to fit my new posture. The sole is incredibly stiff, something I find very comfortable as I\u2019m a performance-oriented cyclist. The power transfer is perfect, but next to the bike you notice that these shoes aren\u2019t made for walking. Because the front is slightly too wide, I notice a slight slip when sprinting at full throttle. The upper is made of light mesh with plenty of ventilation, in addition to the three ventilation holes in the sole. Very nice during the warm summer, but in the winter you need a good pair of socks. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery cd-gal-staand has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-3 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"769\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"18947\" src=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/PXL_20240829_120650337.PORTRAIT.ORIGINAL-769x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Ekoi C4 Race Cycling Shoe, test, ella van der veer\" class=\"wp-image-18947\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/PXL_20240829_120650337.PORTRAIT.ORIGINAL-769x1024.jpg 769w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/PXL_20240829_120650337.PORTRAIT.ORIGINAL-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/PXL_20240829_120650337.PORTRAIT.ORIGINAL-768x1023.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/PXL_20240829_120650337.PORTRAIT.ORIGINAL-1154x1536.jpg 1154w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/PXL_20240829_120650337.PORTRAIT.ORIGINAL.jpg 1442w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 769px) 100vw, 769px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Ventilation holes<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"18952\" src=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/IMG_0036-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Eko\u00ef C4 race cycling shoes tested!\" class=\"wp-image-18952\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/IMG_0036-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/IMG_0036-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/IMG_0036-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/IMG_0036.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"769\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"18948\" src=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/PXL_20240829_120857503.PORTRAIT-769x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Ekoi c4 race cycling shoes\" class=\"wp-image-18948\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/PXL_20240829_120857503.PORTRAIT-769x1024.jpg 769w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/PXL_20240829_120857503.PORTRAIT-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/PXL_20240829_120857503.PORTRAIT-768x1023.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/PXL_20240829_120857503.PORTRAIT-1154x1536.jpg 1154w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/PXL_20240829_120857503.PORTRAIT.jpg 1442w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 769px) 100vw, 769px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A little black on the heel<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tougher sole<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Are there any downsides to these shoes?
