About Quoc Pham
Quoc Pham has always had a passion for both fashion design and sport. After graduating with a BA (Hons) in fashion from London's Central St. Martins, he decided to merge the two. In 2009, Quoc designed his first smart bicycle shoe, combining fashion with an active lifestyle - the eponymous brand was born.

The Quoc Pham range began with the Fixed shoe, a sleek and elegant take on the traditional cycling shoe. Made for the urban enthusiast and weekend tourist, the striking design and comfort of a traditional leather upper and flat, sturdy sole allowed them to be worn as much on the bicycle as off it.

Using the knowledge and experience gained from the success of these shoes, Quoc Pham decided to create the Tourer, launched in late 2010. Retaining all the style and smart design of the Fixed shoe, the Tourer also provides recessed, fully integrated MTB cleat compatibility. Yet in contrast the sole, rather than flat, provides the necessary grip and robustness required for the cyclist prepared to go that extra distance.

Both shoes are made using traditional techniques, with craftsman sculpting by hand to ensure they stay true to the contour of the foot. Initial prototypes are made and tested rigorously and once approved, only then can the leather be carefully selected. Made from a precise three layer construction, a leather outer & lining with strong canvas maize inner, provides the requisite form, durability and comfort that make both the Fixed and Tourer shoes unique. The signature Quoc Pham reflective strip on the heel of each shoe provides safety and style, whilst the Lock, Lace & Knot lacing technique encourages a reassured fit from heel to toe.

And now, newly added to the line is the Derby edition. It is fully hand made, taking 3 days for one craftsman to construct using traditional techniques. The Derby is the first of its kind in the world to use Good Year welt construction with a cleat compatible sole - making them by far the most comfortable commuter, office ready cycling shoes in the market.

Quoc Pham Products
Quoc Pham designs original collections of cycling shoes for the urban enthusiast, commuter and weekend tourist. Classically-inspired design and quality craftsmanship appeal to a newly design-aware, velo couture audience. Authentic leather uppers and contoured soles provide a comfortable, durable fit that allow for smooth transitions from cycle to sidewalk to office. Furthermore leather has been used to take advantage of its many natural qualities. It breathes, neutralises odours, softens and moulds to fit. It is warm and wind resistant in cold weather yet breathes to be cool and absorbent in summer.
