GCLIProw has developed GCLIP Drive: the one-and-only shoe-clip system that delivers world-class results for rowers in the water, at home, or in the gym.
With a proprietary design that enhances power transitions and optimizes stroke rates, GCLIP Drive is proven to produce peak performances for faster finishes.
Not designed. Architected.
GCLIP Drive was dreamed up by an American architect in the famous Fontana Boathouse of Buffalo, New York, USA.
With an eye for better mechanics and smoother strokes, he created GCLIProw.
Today, we’re manufacturing cutting-edge rowing shoes and mounts—with 3D-printed recycled plastics and custom injection mouldings—for athletes around the world.
“This new CLIP Drive system will revolutionize the way we know rowing.”
– Daniel Luongo, 2015 U.S. National Champion
“I’ve had both of my Achilles’ tendons surgically repaired, so for me, rowing in the GCLIP Drive system has definitely kept my legs feeling fresher.”
“With a traditional shoe, especially for longer segments, my legs would get tired due to driving my heels during the drive portion.”
“With GCLIP Drive, I’m still driving the same way (I’ve looked at my force curve) but the mechanics of the design allow for better connectivity and less stress on my muscles.”
– Chris Trim, UCanRow2 Master Coach, March 2022
