Unfortunately, our shoes do not fit Shimano foot stretchers. Shimano uses a unique locking system that requires their specific footwear, making our shoes incompatible with their platform.
That includes:
KS-R500F Flex Series Rowing Shoes
KS-R620 Rigid Sole Rowing Shoes
Shimano Carbon Fiber Foot Stretchers
Shimano Virtual Pivot Foot Stretchers
We use the common 4-hole system found in rowing boats such as BBG, EURO-RACING, Empacher, Filippi, Roseman, Salani, Schellenbacher, Vega, WinTech and many more.
Any company willing to resell or distribute our rowing shoes can become a partner. Depending on where you are located you will need a VAT-Number and possibly an EORI-Number. That‘s all. Contact us for further information.
