Giro Empire SLX II Cycling Shoes Black/Gold Black/Gold

This Empire SLX II cycling shoe from Giro is a lightweight road racing shoe designed for riders seeking a direct, efficient, and classic lace-up fit. The one-piece Synchwire™ knit upper combines a breathable knitted mesh structure with a thermally bonded TPU skin for enhanced durability and support. The 7-eyelet lace closure evenly distributes tension across the foot, providing a snug and comfortable fit without the bulk of dial hardware. Power transfer is optimized by Giro’s forged UD carbon fiber outsole, engineered for high stiffness while maintaining a remarkably low weight of approximately 195 g per shoe in size 39. The SuperNatural Fit Kit footbed, featuring adjustable arch support, allows for fine-tuning of comfort and foot stability during long rides, training sessions, and races. This shoe is compatible with 3-bolt road pedal systems, including Look-style cleats.
