Giro Empire XC Mountain Bike Shoes

The Empire XC builds on the success of the past but keeps the elements that made it loved by gravel riders and XC racers alike. We started with a more flexible Teijin microfiber upper with added suppleness that conforms for a glove-like but never-too-snug fit. Our new co-molded carbon composite and Sensor rubber outsole gives you plenty of grip off bike, power to the pedal and long-term durability. Dependable and easily replaceable laces allow you to fully customize your fit, while inside, our Supernatural™ insole kit allows three choices of personalized arch support. High performance and classic, clean style for when things get dirty.

SENSOR™ RUBBER ‐ Giro's proprietary rubber formula maximizes grip and durability without sacrificing light weight. The rubber outsole is co-molded with the carbon composite plate to deliver a permanent; glue-less bond.
SUPERNATURAL FIT SYSTEM ‐ Our Supernatural Fit System includes footbead and adjustable arch support with Low; Medium; and High arch support chips. Adjust arch support to enhance fit and pedaling efficiency while reducing the chances of common foot discomforts like numbness; hotspots; and cramping.
CO-MOLDED CARBON COMPOSITE PLATE ‐ Engineered by Giro to deliver optimal stiffness with forefoot flex tuned to handle hike-a-bikes without compromising power transfer. The carbon plate is co-molded with Sensor rubber to deliver a permanent; glue-less bond.
