Giro Imperial Road Cycling Shoes : BLACK

Season:2019

Brand:Giro

Code:GISIMPBLK

Widely known for their adoption and mastery of laced road cycling shoes in recent years and their development of the Tech-lace system, Giro have developed the new Imperial as a high level, lightweight performance shoe for riders that prefer a Boa dial system.
 
The Imperial has been developed in parallel with the company's latest Empire SLX and both shoes are largely the same, sharing construction and tech, with just the closure definfing each model. In order to make the Imperial as light as possible, and to ensure impeccable fit and comfort, Giro have developed Synchwire - a monofilament mesh that encapsulates the foot like a second skin while offering excellent breathability in the upper. That upper is structurally reinforced - as has been the case with other models - with thermal-welded Teijin TPU.
 
Giro have used a dual Boa IP1 closure system that allows for mico-adjustment and incremental adjustment on the fly, so you can dial the fit in and out depending on where you are in the ride - cafe stop or winding it up for the sprint. The Imperial features soft lace guides for the Boa wires, these reduce pressure and the development of hot-spotrs on the foot. The lace routing is such that the need for an additional strap at the forefoot is eliminated.
 
As with the Empire SLX, power transfer is taken care of with an Easton EC90 SLX2 high modulus carbon outsole for the best stiffness-to-weight ratio. Internally, Giro's SuperNatural adjustable footbeds improve pedalling efficiency and maintain foot comfort. The Giro Imperial weighs just 215g (size 42) and sports replaceable heel pads for prolonged performance.
