About Giro Men's Empire HV Road Bike Shoes, Black, 44.5

Taking design cues from the golden era of cycling, the Giro Men's Empire ACC HV+ Shoe forgoes messy dials and cluttered straps for the clean aesthetic and seven-point adjustability of a traditional lace-up design. However, just because it's inspired by an era where wool jerseys and lace-up kicks were all the rage doesn't mean it's lacking on new-school tech. One glimpse at its Evofiber upper, Easton EC90 ACC carbon sole, and SuperNatural fit footbed is all that's needed to be persuaded that the Empire ACC HV+ is one of the most technically advanced shoes on the market. This particular version of the Empire ACC HV+ features a high-volume last that tightly hugs wider feet, but without the pinching or pressure points you'd normally experience with normal cycling footwear. It's available in both full and half sizes, so you can achieve the glove-like fit desired for besting PRs on the road and dethroning the competition at your local crit series.

The laces are crafted from an anti-stretch material, so you won't have to constantly replace them after racking up countless miles on the road. Furthermore, there's a lacing garage that you can tuck the laces into, so they don't become snagged in your drivetrain while you're pedaling at a brisk cadence. Besides the supportive, foot-wrapping upper, the Empire ACC HV+ Shoe emphasizes comfort with its SuperNatural Fit footbeds, which employ three different arch inserts for customizable support underfoot. Each arch insert remains in place with a secure hook-and-loop fastener, so you won't have to worry about it shifting around while pedaling. An...
