The Giro Empire VR90 MTB Shoeoffer unparalleled off-road performance – it really is the complete package, with an EASTON Carbon Composite Outsole and Vibram rubber tread.

Evofiber Upper

Evofiber is a one-piece upper that fuses mesh and microfibre to repel water yet miraculously improves breathability. It has the added benefit of holding its shape, regardless of weather or usage for long-lasting wear.

SuperNatural Fit System

Adjustable arch support enhances the fit and comfort of the Giro Empire V2. It also significantly reduces the likelihood of numbness, hotspots and cramping in the feet.

EASTON Carbon Composite Outsole

The EASTON Carbon Composite Outsole has been designed to provide incredible stiffness, with a keen focus on three zones: Toe, Arch and Heel. The result is a low weight, yet incredibly stiff platform.

The Empire VR90 features a one-piece upper cut from ultra-breathable Teijin Evofibre to conform to your foot. Not only does this result in increased power efficiency, but it also reduces the occurrence of sore feet. The Teijin Evofibre upper is also weatherproof and incredibly durable, with the added benefit of retaining its shape, no matter how often you ride. Naturally, as a result of this, you’d expect the Empire VR90 to be a sweatbox, however, Teijin Evofibre is a unique microfibre compound that’s naturally breathable, while the VR90 also has inbuilt channels designed to keep the air flowing around your feet regardless of your speed or the weather!

The use of Empire laces means the VR90’s feel like any other high-quality cycling shoe – a natural extension of your foot, and retain all the adjustability you could ever desire. When combined with Giro’s SuperNatural Fit System, the Empire VR90’s offer best-in-class comfort – your feet will experience an enhanced, glove-like fit resulting in increased pedalling efficiency.

Thanks to the use of an EASTON Carbon Composite Outsole, the Giro Empire VR90 MTB Shoes offer an unrivalled stiffness to weight ratio. Not only does this result in maximum power transfer, but also means that tough slogs back uphill will become that little bit easier meaning you can leave something in the tank for gnarly sections or large jumps. And don’t fret, if you do bail, or have to walk it, the Empire VR90 features a moulded Vibram rubber tread for relentless grip, no matter the weather or terrain.

With the Giro Empire VR90 MTB Shoe’s ultra-stiff and lightweight construction, off-road performance has been redefined. You’re offered unrivalled support and efficiency for tough climbs and gnarly sections, all while remaining comfortable, mile after mile. Giro has really thrown the gauntlet: the Empire VR90 sets a new standard in high-performance mountain bike shoes.
