GIRO EMPIRE SLX II Road Shoes Black/Gold 2026

The GIRO EMPIRE SLX II Road Shoes combine featherlight weight with optimised power transfer. Their flat-woven Synchwire upper integrates ventilation directly and benefits from a heat-bonded TPU reinforcement. This single-piece monofilament construction offers an excellent balance of comfort, breathability and support, while eliminating seams.

The outsole uses a unidirectional forged carbon plate, developed to deliver superior stiffness and efficient power transfer. This new design offers an improved stiffness of 20 Nm compared to the previous generation. The seven lacing eyelets allow precise adjustment and even foot retention.

The Supernatural adjustment system completes the design with an insole and adjustable arch support thanks to three levels of inserts. Weighing just 221 g in size 43, the Empire SLX II prioritises lightness without compromising comfort or breathability. Its construction combines textile, TPU and carbon to meet the demands of road cycling.

How to take measurements:

• To choose the right size, measure your foot at the end of the day.
  - Measure the distance between the tip of the big toe and the outermost part of the heel.
• GIRO shoes run small. We recommend choosing one size up from your usual size.
