The Giro Empire SLX Road Cycling Shoes ?weighs in at just 185g a shoe, with pro-level performance and unrivaled comfort right out-of-the-box. To make a minimalist shoe that retains the supportive structure of the legendary Empire while advancing the style, Giro started with a one-piece ultralight monofilament “Synchwire” mesh upper designed around a classic laced closure to fit and feel like a second skin. The Thermal-welded Teijin® TPU adds structural support exactly where it’s needed, and a high-modulus Easton® EC90™ SLX2 carbon fiber plate provides ultimate stiffness to weight for power transfer. Giro also included an adjustable Super Natural Fit footbed system,  allowing you to customize arch support right out of the box for luxurious comfort and optimal pedaling efficiency.
