    I see that a company based in the Yorkshire Dales is going to launch this product early next year. Do we think it might have potential for cyclists? Maybe with a stiff cleated sole? http://www.360textiles.com and http://www.360waterproofshoes.co.uk.

    Well even though this is a bit of a cack-handed approach to marketing (the email address above is linked to the same address as 360 Textiles), I will still have a good look at the shoes.

    As a vegan, good quality vegan shoes are like rocking-horse shit. Not particularly bothered about cycling shoes tbh, cycling shoes tend to be made out of man-made materials anyway, and Gore-Tex cycling shoes aren’t exactly rare.

    Andrew – if I were you I’d stick to walking shoes/trail running/fell running shoes/trainers if I were you. And be honest about your intentions in future posts!

    Might be worth a punt if this

    Might be worth a punt if this material is bullet proof too. Less damage when one shoots oneself in the foot.

    @alansmurphy – fair point, so I’ve deleted my earlier comment that supported him.

    I don’t think it’s worthwhile for him to produce cycle shoes – it’s a tough market and he’d be better off trying to get established cycle shoe manufacturers to use his material (if it’s any better than gore-tex).

    I see that a company is very different from “I own a company”. And do we think is suggesting he is a mere mortal like you and I.

    A simple “hi, the company I have set up has a material that I think would be good for cycling shoes…” would be more honest and open.

    Deceitful and untrustworthy.

    Judging by his username he’s more likely to be Andrew Robert Fortune, who is the Company Secretary and Director.  His wife is also named as a Director.  

    Come on Andrew, you could have simply been honest and got some honest feedback.  Now you come across as deceitful and untrustworthy.  I doubt you wanted that associated with your company.
