Giro Ranger Cycling Shoe - Men's
Giro Ranger Cycling Shoe - Men's, As a new entry for Giro's mountain footwear lineup, the Ranger Cycling Shoe satisfies the void between entry-level and mid-range. Using trickle-down tech from the new Rincon, the Ranger receives a durable one-piece Synchwire upper and a strong nylon and rubber outsole. Perhaps the only disadvantage found in the Ranger may be the triple hook-and-loop strap closures instead of the BOA dial found on the Rincon. However, given that these strap-style closures are still used in the upper echelons of cycling shoes, the Ranger is designed to provide high-performance at a lower cost.
Giro equips the Ranger for long treks across mountainous terrain with a comfortable midsole and heel/toe reinforcements that take the trail hits for you. Since the sole is made of nylon instead of carbon, bike-hiking and creek crossing is much easier to perform. Two-bolt compatibility matches most of the major pedal company offerings for off-road systems, and pre-drilled holes for toe-spikes are ready to help with cyclocross run-ups and early-spring trail rides with heavy snowmelt.
