Cycling Shoes

At just 175 grams (size 42.5), Giro's Empire SLX sets a new standard for lightweight cycling footwear. Yet it doesn’t compromise the structure or stiffness needed to put full power to the pedals thanks to a combination of exceptional fit, new Evofiber SL one-piece uppers, and the Easton EC90 SLX2 high-modulus outsoles. And with replaceable heel pads, full titanium hardware, and Giro's adjustable SuperNatural Fit Kit, these are full-featured shoes built to win, and built to last.

While most trail shoes are still based on XC racing, Giro's new Terraduro was created to navigate the demands of all-mountain riding, balancing on-and-off-the-bike performance in a low-profile design. This durable shoe is built around a stout nylon shank that pedals like a pro XC shoe, combined with a grippy Vibram rubber outsole that inspires confidence when scrambling over rocks and logs. The fit is secure and supportive thanks to a slim, micro-adjustable buckle and two-strap closure system, while a reinforced toe box offers protection from impacts.

Giro's Factor Techlace is a race-bred cycling shoe that couples the benefits of the Techlace system with the easy adjustment of a Boa dial, plus the performance you expect from Giro—all at an impressively low weight of 210 grams (size 42.5). The Techlace system replaces D-rings and other hardware with laces, providing a more supple feel across the forefoot, and the laces can be easily replaced if damaged. The Boa IP1 dial offers fast, intuitive adjustment in 1mm increments when tightening or loosening. The Factor Techlace upper is constructed with Evofiber SL, which is durable yet highly breathable. Inside the shoe, the SuperNatural Fit footbed features adjustable arch supports to personalize fit, comfort and pedaling efficiency. Power transfer is bolstered by the Easton EC90 SLX2 carbon fiber outsole, which is among the lightest, thinnest and stiffest pedaling platforms on the road, giving you a direct connection to the pedals. - One-piece upper design - Premium Evofiber SL breathable - Teijin microfiber - Techlace + Boa IP 1 dial (1mm +/- with macro release) - Easton EC90 SLX2 high-modulus carbon - Steel hardware - Replaceable heel pads - Super Natural Fit Kit with adjustable arch support - X- Static anti-microbial fiber - Travel bag included - Weight: 210 grams (size 42.5)

The Rincon combines a supple, breathable Synchwire upper with a robust nylon-composite plate and an aggressive, dual-injected rubber outsole for excellent traction that won't de-laminate or break down.
