GiroRegime Cycling Shoe - Men's
Item # GIRZ33F
Regime Cycling Shoe
Running the show on Giro’s mid-level, performance road cycling shoe is the Regime, equipped with an upgraded dual Boa L6 dial closure system compared to the Cadet’s single, and style reminiscent of the slightly slenderer, lace-up Empire ACC. The Regime seems to coalesce the finer parts of what works so well with the entry-level Cadet and the more elite performance characteristics of the full carbon sole found in the exceptional Empire line. Constructed with a single piece of Synchwire, with laser-perforations for venting, the Regime provides a supportive and thermobonded fit for any cycling session, whether racing or on the indoor trainer. Ditching the hook-and-loop toe strap of the Cadet, the Regime fine-tunes your fit at 1mm increments with the dual Boa L6 dials for faster micromanagement during on-bike adjustments.
Underneath, an upgraded carbon-composite sole efficiently transfers watts to the pedals, and a 3D molded footbed provides medium arch support for a neutral fit. Additionally, the Regime removes the 2-bolt cleat holes and moves to a 3-bolt only cleat pattern with 5mm of adjustment. This signals the transition to a road-focused approach for the Regime. While still accommodating serious indoor training sessions, it will not match with conventional spin-class pedal systems, as will the Cadet.

I've had bad luck getting cycling shoes to fit right. Shoes might feel good in the store, but feeling hot spots on long rides. I have normal width feet, but high arches. Given this I stick to what I know works. Overall the Regime shoes fit great and is extremely comfortable. My old Trans road shoes came with different arch support fit kits. the Regime only comes with a standard insole. To my surprise, my old soles (43) fit into the new Regime (size 43.5) making its fit just that little much better. I guess the fit kits come in increments of 4 half sizes (e.g., 43-44.5). If you need different arch support other than medium, get one of the Super Natural fit kits. Its worth it. I love the Boa system with very fine tightening adjustments. You can't reverse the Boa dial, but when you release the dial, it doesn't fully release. It opens up just a little allowing you to release just a little pressure and click it in quickly as readjust as needed (maybe just a click or two to snug it up again).
