With its sleek looks and seamless upper material, Bontrager’s Ballista Road Shoe isn’t just for purists. The positioning of the Boa IP-1 twist lock with two-way adjustment in the heel area of the shoe also makes sense from an ergonomic point of view: quickly reach down and with one twist of the hand the shoe is tightened for the final sprint. Due to its generous padding and the absence of a second Boa closure, the shoe is very comfortable but could be problematic on very narrow feet. The so-called “Heel Reel,” a scaly fabric in the heel area, grips to your feet and keeps the shoes in place, which, together with the stiff carbon sole (Bontrager Index 12 of 14), increases the efficiency of the power transmission.
NOTE: ex-display product in replacement packaging. Some minor scratches on the sole. REAL pics on request.

NOTE! To avoid unnecessary exchanges or returns of purchased footwear - when choosing the size you are ordering, PLEASE stick to the following rules:
A. The insole lengths in mm given in the last column are the ACTUAL, total lengths measured by ourselves.
B. PLEASE CHOOSE a size whose insole is 5mm to 10mm longer than the actual length of your bare foot (ROAD shoes closer to 5mm, MTB / GRAVEL / ENDURO shoes closer to 10mm).
C. How to measure your foot?
- Place the heel against a wall or e.g. furniture, and place something rigid, such as a book, perpendicular to the toes
- Measure the distance between the wall and the book.
- You should check both feet, because quite often one is longer :)
