Giro started in 1985 by creating the first ventilated, lightweight cycling helmet, the Prolight. Today, Giro is a worldwide leader in equipment for cycling, skiing, and snowboarding and the company's goods are worn by millions of riders around the world.

Product Description

AT JUST 185G PER SHOE, WITH PRO-LEVEL PERFORMANCE AND UNRIVALED COMFORT, 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, 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.

These shoes are light, very comfortable, and stiff, I love them. I can go on on a 50 to 70 mile ride and not even think about my feet. I had a slight problem and Amazon went way beyond what was expected to see that I was happy.

Quality Service

The shoes were a little small for my American foot, but the Wheel Traders company was exceptionally responsive in their willingness to make things right. Due to my satisfaction with the Giro Empire SLX shoes and the quality service provided by the Wheel Traders group, I'm giving this transaction 5 stars.

Missing "lace garage" on Right side shoe!

Reviewed in the United States on January 2, 2018

Verified Purchase

Great looking shoe, super light great fit on my narrow feet, BUT the pair I received is missing the "lace garage" on the Right shoe. Being as you can't just leave the laces flopping around, particularly on the drive side, I am not sure what the solution will be. For the price of these shoes and the Years I expect to wear them I am pretty disappointed that I got a defective pair.
