The handmade Italian shoemakers at Nimbl have a new premium Urano gravel bike racing shoe built on their proven ultra thin and ultra stiff monocoque carbon sole. Promising efficient power delivery, Nimbl CEO Francesco Sergio emphatically describes the all-new Urano gravel bike shoes as lightweight, high performance, and elegant.
Nimbl Urano premium performance-oriented gravel shoes
The Urano is Nimbl’s first performance-oriented shoe dedicated to gravel bike riding and racing. Made in-house on the central Adriatic coast of Italy, Nimbl created the gravel Urano to perfectly match the fit of their road shoes, while adapting their modern handmade construction to the newer off-road discipline. “Not just a gravel shoe”, the Urano was created to a top-performing shoe for riding any terrain and all roads.
“Urano is a shoe with a racing soul that embodies the values of Nimbl, while also forging a new path to uncharted fields. Superior performance and quality, Italian craftsmanship, and excellence all merged into one product that has fueled cyclists’ dreams for years and has now become a reality.”

Nimbl Urano – Pricing, options & availability
Nimbl sells their new Urano shoes for an eye-watering 550€, and most often makes them to order. So they typically take 8 working days in production before sending them anywhere around the world. Nimbl then offers the shoes in whole EU sizes from 39 and half sizes from 41-47. And they craft the Urano on a wider than average last. Like many of Nimbl’s shoes, the Urano comes only in white with an exposed carbon structure, but the new gravel shoes do feature an all-new extra durable upper.
