Some of the biggest gains on a modern race bike don’t come from a new frame or wheelset. They come from the small, smart decisions you make around the edges. Velotoze understands that better than most.
Velotoze’s aero shoe covers and socks are designed for one thing: to make you faster at the speeds that matter, without complicating your setup. Their Aero Shoe Covers use smooth, wind‑tunnel‑informed materials and carefully shaped cuffs to reduce turbulence around the shoe and ankle—an area that can easily add drag when left exposed.
That might sound small, but at race speeds it isn’t. Independent testing and brand data consistently show that well‑designed aero shoe covers can save measurable watts at 40 km/h and above, especially when they smooth out buckles, straps, and vents. In a crit, a time trial, or a fast road race, that can be the difference between hanging on and having something left for the line.
This is the side of Velotoze we’re bringing into the Oak Concept Store: the aero side.
Oak’s pillars—family, racing, joy, sophistication—shape how we think about speed. Racing is in the DNA of how we design and choose products. Joy is in the feeling of a bike that moves cleanly through the air, doing what you ask of it. Sophistication is the ability to make aero gains without shouting about them. Velotoze’s aero pieces fit that perfectly: they’re quiet, functional, and designed with intent.
We’re not adding Velotoze because it’s a trendy name. We’re adding them because they give our riders access to simple, proven speed upgrades that integrate cleanly with the kind of bikes we build and ride. Aero covers and socks that slip over your existing shoes; no radical changes, no complicated systems—just smoother air and a little less effort per kilometer.
When we decide what belongs in the Concept Store, we ask three questions:
-
Does this make our riders genuinely faster or more efficient in real‑world racing and fast group rides?
-
Is it built with the same kind of purpose and restraint we aim for in our own products?
-
Will it appeal to riders who already think a lot about how their bike cuts through the air?
Velotoze aero covers and socks check all three boxes. They’re race‑legal, designed with high‑speed aerodynamics in mind, and used by riders who care about marginal gains but still appreciate simplicity.
If you’re the kind of rider who already worries about tyre choice, rim depth, and helmet shape, Velotoze’s aero products are an easy yes. They’re also a smart first step into aero for riders who want to feel the difference without rebuilding their entire setup.
We’re proud to have Velotoze aero pieces in the Oak Concept Store. Small parts, real intent, and speed you can feel when it counts.
