- QUOC ESCAPE SHOES
Escape Road is designed for the thrill-seeking rider whose adventures aren’t always along a perfectly paved path. With its carbon composite outsole that optimally balances stiffness and comfort, this ultra-distance road shoe is not sensitive to the odd section of unpredictable terrain.
The inspiration for Escape Road derived from a desire to offer an affordable, versatile road shoe that does not compromise on performance or quality. With a light and steel construction optimised for speed, and the durability needed to throw caution to the wind, the shoe fills a hole in the market for the social cyclist who does not want to feel limited by need to protect their shoes.
The lightweight, streamlined silhouette is primed for miles of exploration, while malleable heel padding and a foot-hugging fit delivers the all-day comfort needed for leaving no road undiscovered. A reinforced guard protects the toe cap and the upper makes use of a highly resilient, easy-to-clean premium material. Whether stopping to photograph a sunrise, foraging for fruit, or filling your bottle in a cold stream, QUOC’s Escape Road shoe represents an end to tiptoeing around worrying about scratches and scuffs.
QUOC’s proprietary single dial closure system delivers micro-adjustable precision and foot support, guided by stylish zigzag webbing for lateral pressure distribution. An instant release feature enables the foot to slip easily in and out, and well-positioned airflow ventilation holes ensure a breathable ride that bridges climates and seasons.

Rider
Escape Road is designed for the all-weather weekend cyclist whose ultimate end game is an enjoyable ride. Often riding with similar-minded, cross-disciplinary riders, cycling is as much about conversation and experiences, as it is about leaving no road undiscovered. Unencumbered by weight concerns, this cyclist welcomes pockets of unpredictable terrain and seeks comfort above all else.
Stiffness Index
Our stiffness index is here to help you find your perfect shoe. For each shoe, we have developed what we feel is the perfect balance between comfort and performance for its intended terrain.
Finding the perfect size
We recommend measuring both of your feet from your heel to your longest toe. Take the longest measurement, add 5mm (0.2 inches) and then compare this measurement to our size chart. Alternatively, customers are advised to opt for their nearest EU size, rounding up if they measure an exact half-size. If you have ridden with QUOC shoes in the past, we rounded our half sizes up to whole sizes i.e a EU43.5 is now a EU44.
Fit
Worked from a hand-sculpted last that combines years of incremental improvement and adjustment, the shoe features a foot-enveloping lining and a medium-fit toe box making it highly adapted to the average rider.
Warranty
One year Limited Warranty. For manufacturing faults, QUOC will replace the product free of charge to the customer. Customers will be advised to contact customer service at warranty@quoc.cc and asked to provide proof of purchase, photos and a description of the damages.

Dial Closure System Lifetime Warranty: This product contains a QUOC Technology Dial System which is subject to a lifetime warranty. QUOC will replace any Dial System that does not fulfil the lifetime warranty (except in cases of misuse or improper care).
Maintenance
This product is crafted in a combination of high-quality PU and a carbon composite sole. For maximum longevity, we recommend cleaning thoroughly after use with cold water using a pressure hose or clean cloth. When not riding, store in a cool and dry place, away from direct sunlight.
About Quoc
Born in London. Founded in 2009, QUOC is an independent British cycling shoe brand with a 12-year history designing high-performance, comfort-driven shoes. Challenging conventional parameters of cycling footwear, we spent a decade hand-crafting our last; refining every last millimetre to arrive at a near-personalised fit for each and every rider.
Contentment in Simplicity
We know that cycling can unlock a host of mental and physical benefits that are unique to every rider. What is universal is that cycling facilitates a return to simplicity in which we can find contentment. That's why we make shoes that entirely remove obstructions, driven by a desire to simplify the ride and spread the enjoyment of cycling to as many people as possible.
Strong Values Are As Important As Strong Legs
We offer today’s rider a choice outside of mainstream parameters. We speak to those who seek comfort, style, and values in their apparel preferences, in addition to pack-leading performance. A big part of cycling is building human connections, so we offer a highly personal service to our community, and work with organisations like Trash Free Trails to clean up the lands we ride on.
True Heroes of Cycling
We believe in celebrating everyone, not just those winning medals. We look up to those who ride in their own style, whose dedication to cycling transcends their gear and ranking, and who manifest the adventurous spirit and genuine camaraderie that has come to define our sport. We're proud to be part of an incredible community who inspire us to make shoes for every type of cyclist.
Love Where You Ride
We believe in protecting our ride environments so that future generations of cyclists can experience it. We package our products with eco-friendly materials, and are committed to using resources minimally and replenishing what we use. QUOC works with Tree Nation to plant a tree for each pair of shoes sold, doing our part in the global effort to fight climate change.
