Giro Empire SLX Road Shoes - Crystal White
To make a minimalist shoe that retains the supportive structure of the legendary Empire while advancing the style; we started with a one-piece ultralight monofilament "Synchwire" mesh upper designed around a classic laced closure to fit and feel like a second skin. Thermal-welded Teijin® TPU adds structural support exactly where it's needed; and a high-modulus Easton® EC90™ SLX2 carbon fiber plate provides the ultimate stiffness-to-weight ratio for power transfer. Our adjustable SuperNatural Fit footbed system is the final touch; allowing you to customize arch support right out of the box for luxurious comfort and optimal pedaling efficiency.
Key Features
- SYNCHWIRE — Synchwire construction is a stitch-less upper that's vented and reinforced to create a lightweight cycling shoe with incredible airflow and structural integrity. Synchwire is an advanced composite of thermo-bonded film that provides overall durability; a non-woven internal sheet for distributing the force from the closure system to the upper for direct power transfer; and mono-filament mesh for ventilation.
- EASTON®EC90™ SLX2 CARBON OUTSOLE — We worked closely with the engineering staff at Easton to develop proprietary outsoles that provide the most direct; powerful connection to the pedals without compromising comfort. Using advanced modeling and proprietary filtering in our test lab; every outsole is engineered to provide ideal stiffness in three zones — Toe; Arch; and Heel — while maintaining the lowest weight and stack height (as low as 6.5mm). Additionally; the flatter edges of our outsoles allow the shoe upper to conform to larger or wider feet (what we call the Spillover Effect) without uncomfortable pinching or binding.
- SUPERNATURAL FIT SYSTEM — The Giro SuperNatural Fit System includes an adjustable arch support kit with Low; Medium; and High arch supports. You can adjust arch support to enhance fit and pedaling efficiency while reducing the chances of common discomforts like hotspots; numbness; and cramping.
- LACED CLOSURE — In addition to infinite adjustability and the ability to conform to each zone of the foot; laces offer easy replacement and customization; a more natural feel across the foot and reliability in even the most adverse conditions. Our tubular woven laces are designed to be highly durable; light and to hold a knot securely without slipping.
