Giro Empire VR90 MTB Cycling Shoes

Redefining comfort and performance for off-road and gravel riding, the Giro Empire VR90 Off-Road Shoes will exceed expectations as you hammer along the dirt.

From the speed of gravel or XC mountain bike races to mixed-road/off-road adventures, the Empire VR90 Off-Road Shoes won’t let you down when it comes to comfort and power transfer. It starts with the one-piece TEIJIN® Samo™ upper, delivering a wonderfully snug fit that won’t stretch or sag however much (ab)use the trails mete out. You also get the iconic Empire lace-up design – simple, light, easy to adjust and won’t let you down in the backcountry. Finishing off the comfort focus is Giro’s SuperNatural Fit footbed, letting you dial in the fit and arch support to your own preference.

The Empire V90s come with a stiff pro-level Easton® EC90 full carbon outsole propelling you forward with maximum efficiency. Inevitably you’ll need to hop off the bike and push or carry when you’re off-road and here the moulded Vibram® rubber tread delivers fabulous traction, letting you scramble across the terrain with ease. For particularly muddy days the sole is compatible with toe spikes too.
