Q36.5 GREGARIUS ROAD SHOES

Race-ready comfort engineered and suited for long Australian road rides. The Q36.5 Gregarius Road Shoes are designed for riders who want high-performance efficiency without the harsh, restrictive feel common in many race shoes. Developed in Italy using technologies drawn from Q36.5’s premium Dottore and Unique Pro platforms, the Gregarius balances power transfer, thermoregulation, stability and long-distance comfort in a way that particularly suits Australian riding conditions — long hours in the saddle, rougher road surfaces, heat management and endurance-focused riding. At the core of the Gregarius is a carefully engineered carbon fibre and polyamide outsole. Rather than pursuing extreme stiffness alone, Q36.5 tuned the sole to achieve a more refined balance between pedalling efficiency and ride comfort — particularly important over Australian chipseal roads and longer endurance rides. The outsole is also intentionally wider through the metatarsal area, accommodating a broader range of foot shapes and reducing compression during longer rides. Combined with dual BOA® closure dials, the fit feels secure without excessive pressure hotspots. A highly breathable open mesh microfiber upper delivers excellent ventilation during high temperatures and intense riding, while the included Solestar insoles position the foot in what Solestar describes as the “Optimal Neutral Position” — improving stability and pedalling efficiency. This is not simply a race shoe for short efforts. The Gregarius is built for riders who: spend long hours training prioritise comfort alongside performance ride Australian roads year-round value efficient fit and thermoregulation want a premium Italian-made cycling shoe without unnecessary excess At Chainsmith, we particularly recommend the Gregarius for endurance road riders, gran fondo riders and cyclists who have historically struggled with overly narrow or excessively rigid shoes.
