Giro understands that even the most minute details dictate the control that you have over your mountain bike. That&';s why they developed the Giro Latch Shoe with a flattened sole profile. This brings your foot closer to the pedal to optimize bike control for rough and tumble sections of trail. To accommodate this thinned profile, Giro includes Mute Foam, a proprietary nanofoam with slow rebound, to absorb trail rattle so that you can maintain firm pedal contact in comfort. The toe of the Latch shoe features a reinforced abrasion resistance material that offers further protection and durability. With a lace closure, you&';ll have infinite points of adjustment to ensure that you get a high performance fit.
