Giro's latest evolution of the Empire SLX II Road Cycling Shoes deliver refined performance through innovative engineering. The redesigned flat knitted Synchwire upper minimises weight whilst maximising breathability, with thermally bonded TPU reinforcement ensuring durability without compromise. Seven strategically placed lace eyelets enable precise fit customisation and superior foot conformity.

The forged carbon fibre outsole plate represents a significant advancement, increasing stiffness by 20Nm to optimise power transfer during pedalling. At just 195 grams, this shoe combines featherweight construction with the structural rigidity demanded by serious road cyclists. The Empire SLX II stands as the definitive refinement of Giro's laced road cycling platform.

Features:

• TPU Monofilament Mesh - One-piece woven TPU monofilament mesh upper locks in power with the highest levels of comfort and breathability, eliminating seams and enhancing performance.
• Unidirectional Forged Carbon Plate - Originally developed for motorsports, forged carbon can be molded into much more complex geometries than traditional carbon fiber composites, and better suited to details such as thickness transitions, cleat bolt holes, and compound curvature. The Empire SLX II plate is 20Nm stiffer than the previous version.
• Supernatural Fit System - Our Supernatural Fit System includes footbed and adjustable arch support with Low, Medium, and High arch support chips. Adjust arch support to enhance fit and pedalling efficiency while reducing the chances of common foot discomforts like numbness, hotspots, and cramping.
