One of the first products I tested at Bike Connection Winter in Massa Marittima, Tuscany, was a set of the inky blue Leatt DBX 4.0 Clip Shoes. Leatt, the brand synonymous with neck braces has branched out massively into other areas of protection and clothing in recent years, and the shoes were their latest effort.
