Imperial II AS Cycling Shoe - Men's

The Giro Imperial II AS Cycling Shoe uses a forged carbon fiber outsole plate, a process originally developed for motorsports that molds more complex geometry than traditional carbon composite layup allows. That construction accommodates thickness transitions and cleat bolt placement without compromising stiffness, which is measurably higher than the previous Imperial generation. Dual BOA® Li2 dials with alloy hardware give independent micro-adjustment in both directions, and the Supernatural Fit System's swappable Low, Medium, and High arch chips let a rider dial in support without changing shoes.

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"The arch chips are what sold me, since my left and right feet have never fit the same shoe equally well until I could tune each side independently. The plate transmits power the way a 234-gram shoe shouldn't be able to without flexing."
