When we are looking to upgrade our performance on the bike, having a quality set of mountain bike shoes goes a long way. The Giro Empire SRC Mountain Bike Shoe is one of our favorite mountain bike clipless shoes due to its lightweight design, ergonomic comfort features, and durable design. This shoe features a microfiber upper for a supple and lightweight exterior that offers the prefect fit. The Supernatural fit kit gives us three arch support options, so we can dial in our ideal fit, and the carbon fiber plate and the rubber tread make for a stiff and powerful sole that transfers power to the pedals and supplies a good grip when off the bike. Lastly, an XT2 fiber lining wicks moisture away from our feet and keeps our shoes smelling good in between rides.
