Giro Empire Slx Cycling Shoe

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: "These shoes feel like cheating. They're insanely light and fit like a custom sock—just buttery smooth. The carbon sole is super stiff for efficient power transfer and I love that the arch support is adjustable right out of the box."We’re always chasing peak performance and the Giro Empire SLX Shoe helps us get there fast. At just 186 grams this minimalist road shoe sheds every unnecessary gram while packing in pro-level stiffness and comfort. Giro built the SLX with a sleek one-piece Synchwire mesh upper that wraps the foot like a second skin then reinforced it with Teijin TPU for targeted structure that won’t weigh us down. Beneath the ultralight upper an Easton EC90 SLX2 carbon sole provides an uncompromising stiffness-to-weight ratio that translates every watt into forward motion. A customizable SuperNatural Fit footbed supports our arch just the way we like it and the replaceable heel pads and titanium hardware keep the SLX rolling for seasons of training and racing. Whether we’re clipping in for road intervals or racking up KOMs on smooth gravel this shoe delivers featherlight support with high-mileage durability.
