The pros who choose CarbonShell™

No contracts. No appearance fees. Every athlete on this page rides in Cádomotus because the shoe makes them faster — not because we pay them to say so.

When your race comes down to the run, what happens on the bike decides everything. These athletes — Ironman champions, Olympic finalists, world record holders — have tested every option on the market. They chose a carbon shell sole built on 25 years of speed skating engineering, because it does something no other triathlon shoe does: deliver full power from T1, and protect the legs they need for the marathon.

Their results are the proof. Their words are their own.

Sam Long

"The full carbon shell means my foot wraps around more — I can deliver greater power through the pedals. And if I push the same watts, my legs are fresher."

"Super happy with the stiffness. Really good power transfer."

"The arch support is better than any shoe I've tried, and the stiffness lets me push more power through the pedals."

🥇 CHALLENGE SANREMO WINNER 2025 · TOP-10 FRENCH RIVIERA & WOLLONGONG T100

Justine Guerard

"The shoe is really stiff, so all the power goes to the pedal. And my legs, they feel better when I start the run. For me, this is what makes the difference."

🥇 Ironman 70.3 Pennsylvania, RISING ⭐️

Lydia Russell

“I love these shoes because they’re not just another point of contact on the bike, but another tool to give myself the best chance possible on race day. With cadomotus I feel confident knowing that all the power I produce is getting used to move forward faster”
