Giro Empire Road Shoes (2020)

Premium Performance Upper

With its combination of premium Teijin® Samo™ breathable microfiber upper and classic laced upper the Empire road shoes mould to your foot like no other. With 7 points of lace adjustment, you'll enjoy easy customisation of the fit of your shoes making it wonderfully easy to get comfort levels just right for your foot shape and ensuring comfort for both long rides and manic bunch sprints.

The Sole of a Champion

Complementing the soft and supple upper is the stiff Easton® EC90 SLX carbon fibre sole unit. When you're pushing hard on the pedals you'll feel the instantaneous power transfer flow to the bike and with its ultra-low 6.5mm stack height it offers an unrivalled connection to the pedals for smooth and fluid pedalling. They're light too, just 225 grams per shoe, so when you're tackling a mountainous gran fondo you're not sacrificing anything when it comes to defeating the pull of gravity. With a SuperNatural Fit Kit also included you can choose between high, medium or low arch support so you get the right fit and incredible comfort for long days of pedalling.

Style and performance come in abundance with the Empire Road Shoes, making them the ideal choice for those of you who ride hard but like to look good while pushing through the pain barrier.
