Giro’s Evofiber blends mesh and microfiber effectively wicking moisture from your foot while maintaining an extremely fast-drying outer. The VR90 embodies the process of improving pace and maximizing potential.

Best Cycling Shoes I've Owned

Was hesitant to spend the money but well worth it. I will not look for anything else as I kept trying out shoes at local shops and nothing seemed to impress me until I received these. I'd consider myself a Groadie as I do an equal amount gravel and road riding on my one bike, these shoes work perfect in both scenarios which typically is riding on road to get to dirt. Comfortable on long mixed rides, super stiff and responsive, and clean incredibly easy. Also I have never had issues with the laces coming loose as this was one of my concerns.

Great Gravel Shoes

These shoes fit the bill for a lightweight, stiff gravel/road shoe. They have a kind of cool, retro look and don't look or feel too clunky when used on the road. No issues with the laces although I did shorten them so they don't flop as much (there is an elastic keeper to hold the loose ends). The uppers do seem to break in with time. I wouldn't rate these as the coolest shoe but I can't say that my feet ever get uncomfortably warm - just that the breathability seems below average. I have narrow, low volume feet and these shoes fit beautifully with no heel slippage when walking. There is choice of three arch supports for the insoles and the shoes come with an extra set of laces. I've only used these shoes in clean, dry conditions so I can't attest to their durability in rough, wet or muddy riding but I expect that they would cleanup and dry pretty quick. I've only ever had to wipe them with a damp cloth.
