Carbon soles are not just the gift of the top-end road cycling shoes, with the affordable dhb R2.0C offering a full carbon sole without the hefty price tag.

From the in-house brand of Wiggle, the R2.0Cs boasts a 100 per cent 3K carbon fibre composite sole, which is paired with a synthetic upper, perforated for breathability. Those perforations are on the side, rather than the front, to avoid letting too much cool air in.

A ratchet buckle offers a refined fit and there are also two additional velcro straps to keep your foot secure. And you get plenty of change from your £100.
