Giro Empire SLX Shoe
About Giro Empire SLX Shoe
Nothing can hold you down when you lighten up with the Empire™ SLX. At just 185g per shoe with pro-level performance and unrivaled comfort right out of the box, the Empire SLX lets you fly in first-class style.
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. 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. Giro's adjustable SuperNatural Fit footbed system is the final touch, allowing you to customise arch support right out of the box for luxurious comfort and optimal pedaling efficiency.

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: Giro Easton-engineered outsole features EC90™ high modulus carbon for class-leading stiffness- to-weight, with a flat perimeter edge that allows your foot to conform naturally to the shoe's upper for greater comfort.
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 customisation, a more natural feel across the foot and reliability in even the most adverse conditions. Giro's tubular woven laces are designed to be highly durable, light and to hold a knot securely without slipping.
