RETÜL™Retül is the bike fit system of choice for many elite riders, amateur racers and cycling enthusiasts because it utilizes complete 3-D data analysis to optimize a riders’ biomechanics. Retül’s data-driven approach provides fit technicians with important information that ensures proper positioning of the connection points to the bicycle: shoes, saddle, and handlebars. This type of fit provides riders with the confidence that their equipment is set-up to provide optimal performance, with minimal risk of injury. That’s why we recommend Retül for bike fit and biomechanics advice.

CARBON FIBERWe use carbon fiber and carbon composites in Giro footwear because they provide exceptional performance that can be tuned to maximize stiffness, tensile strength, weight and form. While many companies utilize this cutting-edge material, we have the added advantage of having Easton® engineering expertise to further enhance the capabilities of this wonder material, allowing us to create thinner, lighter and stronger components.

EASTON® ENGINEERED OUTSOLE PLATESWe worked closely with the engineering staff at Easton to develop proprietary outsoles that provide the most direct, powerful connection to the pedals without compromising comfort. Using advanced modeling and proprietary fixturing in our extensive test lab, every outsole is engineered to provide ideal stiffness in 3 zones: Toe, Arch, and Heel, while maintaining the lowest possible weight and stack-height (as low as 6.5mm). Additionally, the flatter edges of our outsoles allow the shoe upper mate-rial to conform to larger or wider feet (what we call the “spillover” effect) without uncomfortable pinching or binding.

HIGH-VOLUME FITGiro “HV” footwear is built on proprietary, cycling-specific lasts that are specially designed to create a fit that hugs wider or higher-volume feet closely without binding, crowding or discomfort. In order to provide the most supportive and precise fit possible, our HV lasts are hand-crafted in whole and half-sizes too, so you get the best fit possible in a production shoe. Giro HV fit is recommended for widths from D-EE, and is an option for feet with very high instep.

PRECISION FITGiro footwear is built on proprietary cycling-specific lasts to create a fit that hugs the foot closely without binding, crowding or discomfort. Our lasts are hand-crafted specifically for cycling footwear in whole and half-sizes that are differentiated between men’s and women’s shoes, in order to provide the most supportive and precise fit possible in a production shoe.

NEUTRAL PLATFORMThe term Neutral Platform means that there is no tilt or permanent adjustment built-in to our shoes. By maintaining a neutral platform, riders who require wedges or other adjustments are free to choose from a variety of systems that best meet their needs over time, without having to compensate for unnecessary or improper adjustments that can compromise the fit or performance of their shoes, or cause stress to muscles or joints.

SUPERNATURAL FIT SYSTEM The Giro SuperNatural Fit System combines a cycling-specific footbed with an adjustable arch support kit. The system was developed with input from riders and cycling biomechanics experts, including Retül, the fitter of choice for teams like Garmin-Cervelo® and RadioShack®, among others. By simply choosing from any of the Low, Medium and High arch supports included in the kit, riders and fitters can independently adjust arch support to enhance fit and pedaling efficiency while reducing or eliminating common discomforts like hotspots, numbness and cramping. The system is available in men’s and women’s sizes, and incorporates X-Static® fibers in the footbed to fight odors and other bacteria.

SONIC WELDED ARMOR Sonic welding is a process that uses sonic waves and pressure to fuse two elements together permanently. Utilizing this process to add a layer of armor to soft fabrics results in a more durable bond that is also cleaner and more accurate than traditional adhesives, and lighter too.

DUPONT®

For more than 200 years, DuPont has brought world-class science and engineering to innovative products, materials and services. DuPont nylon, including Zytel™ nylon, is a versatile performance material that can be tuned to meet a wide range of performance needs. It’s tough, light and surprisingly resilient in a variety of conditions and environments, with excellent performance levels that are maintained much longer than traditional nylons.

WOMEN’S SERIES The Women’s Series™ is a complete collection of fits, styles and prices that are uniquely tailored to female riders. Each Women’s Series shoe is available with a level of detail that is unique within the line, and also features specific sizing and patterning in order to support the lower volume and narrower heel of a woman’s foot. The one thing that isn’t different is the level of performance since we use the same top-quality materials and technologies found in our premium men’s shoes. All together, we believe the Women’s Series offers a range of options that suit nearly any need, and with more compelling styles than competing brands.

X-STATIC® FIBERS X-Static fibers are made with layers of pure silver that are permanently bonded to the surface of the fabric. Silver offers 100% natural anti-microbial performance that helps to reduce odor and regulate heat, so your feet stay fresh and comfortable, naturally.

TEIJIN® MICROFIBER Teijin microfiber is widely considered to be the world’s finest synthetic leather. Made in Japan and engineered to provide the same supple feel of the finest natural leathers, it is durable and breathable yet resists moisture, stretching and discoloration that can degrade the fit and feel of shoes over time. It is also available in a wide range of thicknesses and densities that can be optimized to enhance the feel and performance of premium shoes.

AEGIS® MICROBE SHIELDThe Aegis Microbe Shield is an anti-microbial barrier that permanently bonded with the fabric. It uses the power of a tiny positive electrical charge to inhibit the presence of odor-causing microbes that can cause odor, discoloring or fading, so your shoes stay fresh and odor-free.

PORON® XRD™ Poron XRD is a soft, shock-absorbing material specifically engineered to absorb up to 90% of impact energy, without a loss of performance from repeated impacts. Using “intelligent molecules”, Poron® XRD™ remains supple and flexible until impacted, when the molecules lock together immediately to deflect and help absorb shock. Other benefits include “open cell, breathable” performance with antifungal properties, and no latex, PVCs, VOCs, or heavy metals.

VIBRAM® Vibram is the world leader in high performance rubber soles, with technologically advanced compounds like HydroGrip, the stickiest moldable compound in the Vibram arsenal and developed specifically for flatpedal riding in dry and wet conditions; and Megagrip, a high performance sticky compound with significantly more durability and only a minimal decrease in friction compared to IdroGrip. All Vibram soles are produced with three objectives: to guarantee the best performance, the maximum level of comfort and quality over time.

While many companies utilize this cutting-edge material, we have the added advantage of having Easton® engineering expertise to further enhance the capabilities of this wonder material, allowing us to create thinner, lighter and stronger components.

EASTON® ENGINEERED OUTSOLE PLATESWe worked closely with the engineering staff at Easton to develop proprietary outsoles that provide the most direct, powerful connection to the pedals without compromising comfort. Using advanced modeling and proprietary fixturing in our extensive test lab, every outsole is engineered to provide ideal stiffness in 3 zones: Toe, Arch, and Heel, while maintaining the lowest possible weight and stack-height (as low as 6.5mm). Additionally, the flatter edges of our outsoles allow the shoe upper mate-rial to conform to larger or wider feet (what we call the “spillover” effect) without uncomfortable pinching or binding.

HIGH-VOLUME FITGiro “HV” footwear is built on proprietary, cycling-specific lasts that are specially designed to create a fit that hugs wider or higher-volume feet closely without binding, crowding or discomfort. In order to provide the most supportive and precise fit possible, our HV lasts are hand-crafted in whole and half-sizes too, so you get the best fit possible in a production shoe. Giro HV fit is recommended for widths from D-EE, and is an option for feet with very high instep.

PRECISION FITGiro footwear is built on proprietary cycling-specific lasts to create a fit that hugs the foot closely without binding, crowding or discomfort. Our lasts are hand-crafted specifically for cycling footwear in whole and half-sizes that are differentiated between men’s and women’s shoes, in order to provide the most supportive and precise fit possible in a production shoe.

NEUTRAL PLATFORMThe term Neutral Platform means that there is no tilt or permanent adjustment built-in to our shoes. By maintaining a neutral platform, riders who require wedges or other adjustments are free to choose from a variety of systems that best meet their needs over time, without having to compensate for unnecessary or improper adjustments that can compromise the fit or performance of their shoes, or cause stress to muscles or joints.

SUPERNATURAL FIT SYSTEM The Giro SuperNatural Fit System combines a cycling-specific footbed with an adjustable arch support kit. The system was developed with input from riders and cycling biomechanics experts, including Retül, the fitter of choice for teams like Garmin-Cervelo® and RadioShack®, among others. By simply choosing from any of the Low, Medium and High arch supports included in the kit, riders and fitters can independently adjust arch support to enhance fit and pedaling efficiency while reducing or eliminating common discomforts like hotspots, numbness and cramping. The system is available in men’s and women’s sizes, and incorporates X-Static® fibers in the footbed to fight odors and other bacteria.

SONIC WELDED ARMOR Sonic welding is a process that uses sonic waves and pressure to fuse two elements together permanently. Utilizing this process to add a layer of armor to soft fabrics results in a more durable bond that is also cleaner and more accurate than traditional adhesives, and lighter too.

DUPONT®

For more than 200 years, DuPont has brought world-class science and engineering to innovative products, materials and services. DuPont nylon, including Zytel™ nylon, is a versatile performance material that can be tuned to meet a wide range of performance needs. It’s tough, light and surprisingly resilient in a variety of conditions and environments, with excellent performance levels that are maintained much longer than traditional nylons.

WOMEN’S SERIES The Women’s Series™ is a complete collection of fits, styles and prices that are uniquely tailored to female riders. Each Women’s Series shoe is available with a level of detail that is unique within the line, and also features specific sizing and patterning in order to support the lower volume and narrower heel of a woman’s foot. The one thing that isn’t different is the level of performance since we use the same top-quality materials and technologies found in our premium men’s shoes. All together, we believe the Women’s Series offers a range of options that suit nearly any need, and with more compelling styles than competing brands.

X-STATIC® FIBERS X-Static fibers are made with layers of pure silver that are permanently bonded to the surface of the fabric. Silver offers 100% natural anti-microbial performance that helps to reduce odor and regulate heat, so your feet stay fresh and comfortable, naturally.

TEIJIN® MICROFIBER Teijin microfiber is widely considered to be the world’s finest synthetic leather. Made in Japan and engineered to provide the same supple feel of the finest natural leathers, it is durable and breathable yet resists moisture, stretching and discoloration that can degrade the fit and feel of shoes over time. It is also available in a wide range of thicknesses and densities that can be optimized to enhance the feel and performance of premium shoes.

AEGIS® MICROBE SHIELDThe Aegis Microbe Shield is an anti-microbial barrier that permanently bonded with the fabric. It uses the power of a tiny positive electrical charge to inhibit the presence of odor-causing microbes that can cause odor, discoloring or fading, so your shoes stay fresh and odor-free.

PORON® XRD™ Poron XRD is a soft, shock-absorbing material specifically engineered to absorb up to 90% of impact energy, without a loss of performance from repeated impacts. Using “intelligent molecules”, Poron® XRD™ remains supple and flexible until impacted, when the molecules lock together immediately to deflect and help absorb shock. Other benefits include “open cell, breathable” performance with antifungal properties, and no latex, PVCs, VOCs, or heavy metals.

VIBRAM® Vibram is the world leader in high performance rubber soles, with technologically advanced compounds like HydroGrip, the stickiest moldable compound in the Vibram arsenal and developed specifically for flatpedal riding in dry and wet conditions; and Megagrip, a high performance sticky compound with significantly more durability and only a minimal decrease in friction compared to IdroGrip. All Vibram soles are produced with three objectives: to guarantee the best performance, the maximum level of comfort and quality over time.

By maintaining a neutral platform, riders who require wedges or other adjustments are free to choose from a variety of systems that best meet their needs over time, without having to compensate for unnecessary or improper adjustments that can compromise the fit or performance of their shoes, or cause stress to muscles or joints.

SUPERNATURAL FIT SYSTEM The Giro SuperNatural Fit System combines a cycling-specific footbed with an adjustable arch support kit. The system was developed with input from riders and cycling biomechanics experts, including Retül, the fitter of choice for teams like Garmin-Cervelo® and RadioShack®, among others. By simply choosing from any of the Low, Medium and High arch supports included in the kit, riders and fitters can independently adjust arch support to enhance fit and pedaling efficiency while reducing or eliminating common discomforts like hotspots, numbness and cramping. The system is available in men’s and women’s sizes, and incorporates X-Static® fibers in the footbed to fight odors and other bacteria.

SONIC WELDED ARMOR Sonic welding is a process that uses sonic waves and pressure to fuse two elements together permanently. Utilizing this process to add a layer of armor to soft fabrics results in a more durable bond that is also cleaner and more accurate than traditional adhesives, and lighter too.

DUPONT®

For more than 200 years, DuPont has brought world-class science and engineering to innovative products, materials and services. DuPont nylon, including Zytel™ nylon, is a versatile performance material that can be tuned to meet a wide range of performance needs. It’s tough, light and surprisingly resilient in a variety of conditions and environments, with excellent performance levels that are maintained much longer than traditional nylons.

WOMEN’S SERIES The Women’s Series™ is a complete collection of fits, styles and prices that are uniquely tailored to female riders. Each Women’s Series shoe is available with a level of detail that is unique within the line, and also features specific sizing and patterning in order to support the lower volume and narrower heel of a woman’s foot. The one thing that isn’t different is the level of performance since we use the same top-quality materials and technologies found in our premium men’s shoes. All together, we believe the Women’s Series offers a range of options that suit nearly any need, and with more compelling styles than competing brands.

X-STATIC® FIBERS X-Static fibers are made with layers of pure silver that are permanently bonded to the surface of the fabric. Silver offers 100% natural anti-microbial performance that helps to reduce odor and regulate heat, so your feet stay fresh and comfortable, naturally.

TEIJIN® MICROFIBER Teijin microfiber is widely considered to be the world’s finest synthetic leather. Made in Japan and engineered to provide the same supple feel of the finest natural leathers, it is durable and breathable yet resists moisture, stretching and discoloration that can degrade the fit and feel of shoes over time. It is also available in a wide range of thicknesses and densities that can be optimized to enhance the feel and performance of premium shoes.

AEGIS® MICROBE SHIELDThe Aegis Microbe Shield is an anti-microbial barrier that permanently bonded with the fabric. It uses the power of a tiny positive electrical charge to inhibit the presence of odor-causing microbes that can cause odor, discoloring or fading, so your shoes stay fresh and odor-free.

PORON® XRD™ Poron XRD is a soft, shock-absorbing material specifically engineered to absorb up to 90% of impact energy, without a loss of performance from repeated impacts. Using “intelligent molecules”, Poron® XRD™ remains supple and flexible until impacted, when the molecules lock together immediately to deflect and help absorb shock. Other benefits include “open cell, breathable” performance with antifungal properties, and no latex, PVCs, VOCs, or heavy metals.

VIBRAM® Vibram is the world leader in high performance rubber soles, with technologically advanced compounds like HydroGrip, the stickiest moldable compound in the Vibram arsenal and developed specifically for flatpedal riding in dry and wet conditions; and Megagrip, a high performance sticky compound with significantly more durability and only a minimal decrease in friction compared to IdroGrip. All Vibram soles are produced with three objectives: to guarantee the best performance, the maximum level of comfort and quality over time.

RETÜL™Retül is the bike fit system of choice for many elite riders, amateur racers and cycling enthusiasts because it utilizes complete 3-D data analysis to optimize a riders’ biomechanics. Retül’s data-driven approach provides fit technicians with important information that ensures proper positioning of the connection points to the bicycle: shoes, saddle, and handlebars. This type of fit provides riders with the confidence that their equipment is set-up to provide optimal performance, with minimal risk of injury. That’s why we recommend Retül for bike fit and biomechanics advice.

CARBON FIBERWe use carbon fiber and carbon composites in Giro footwear because they provide exceptional performance that can be tuned to maximize stiffness, tensile strength, weight and form. While many companies utilize this cutting-edge material, we have the added advantage of having Easton® engineering expertise to further enhance the capabilities of this wonder material, allowing us to create thinner, lighter and stronger components.

EASTON® ENGINEERED OUTSOLE PLATESWe worked closely with the engineering staff at Easton to develop proprietary outsoles that provide the most direct, powerful connection to the pedals without compromising comfort. Using advanced modeling and proprietary fixturing in our extensive test lab, every outsole is engineered to provide ideal stiffness in 3 zones: Toe, Arch, and Heel, while maintaining the lowest possible weight and stack-height (as low as 6.5mm). Additionally, the flatter edges of our outsoles allow the shoe upper mate-rial to conform to larger or wider feet (what we call the “spillover” effect) without uncomfortable pinching or binding.

HIGH-VOLUME FITGiro “HV” footwear is built on proprietary, cycling-specific lasts that are specially designed to create a fit that hugs wider or higher-volume feet closely without binding, crowding or discomfort. In order to provide the most supportive and precise fit possible, our HV lasts are hand-crafted in whole and half-sizes too, so you get the best fit possible in a production shoe. Giro HV fit is recommended for widths from D-EE, and is an option for feet with very high instep.

For more than 200 years, DuPont has brought world-class science and engineering to innovative products, materials and services. DuPont nylon, including Zytel™ nylon, is a versatile performance material that can be tuned to meet a wide range of performance needs. It’s tough, light and surprisingly resilient in a variety of conditions and environments, with excellent performance levels that are maintained much longer than traditional nylons.

WOMEN’S SERIES The Women’s Series™ is a complete collection of fits, styles and prices that are uniquely tailored to female riders. Each Women’s Series shoe is available with a level of detail that is unique within the line, and also features specific sizing and patterning in order to support the lower volume and narrower heel of a woman’s foot. The one thing that isn’t different is the level of performance since we use the same top-quality materials and technologies found in our premium men’s shoes. All together, we believe the Women’s Series offers a range of options that suit nearly any need, and with more compelling styles than competing brands.

X-STATIC® FIBERS X-Static fibers are made with layers of pure silver that are permanently bonded to the surface of the fabric. Silver offers 100% natural anti-microbial performance that helps to reduce odor and regulate heat, so your feet stay fresh and comfortable, naturally.

TEIJIN® MICROFIBER Teijin microfiber is widely considered to be the world’s finest synthetic leather. Made in Japan and engineered to provide the same supple feel of the finest natural leathers, it is durable and breathable yet resists moisture, stretching and discoloration that can degrade the fit and feel of shoes over time. It is also available in a wide range of thicknesses and densities that can be optimized to enhance the feel and performance of premium shoes.

AEGIS® MICROBE SHIELDThe Aegis Microbe Shield is an anti-microbial barrier that permanently bonded with the fabric. It uses the power of a tiny positive electrical charge to inhibit the presence of odor-causing microbes that can cause odor, discoloring or fading, so your shoes stay fresh and odor-free.

PORON® XRD™ Poron XRD is a soft, shock-absorbing material specifically engineered to absorb up to 90% of impact energy, without a loss of performance from repeated impacts. Using “intelligent molecules”, Poron® XRD™ remains supple and flexible until impacted, when the molecules lock together immediately to deflect and help absorb shock. Other benefits include “open cell, breathable” performance with antifungal properties, and no latex, PVCs, VOCs, or heavy metals.

VIBRAM® Vibram is the world leader in high performance rubber soles, with technologically advanced compounds like HydroGrip, the stickiest moldable compound in the Vibram arsenal and developed specifically for flatpedal riding in dry and wet conditions; and Megagrip, a high performance sticky compound with significantly more durability and only a minimal decrease in friction compared to IdroGrip. All Vibram soles are produced with three objectives: to guarantee the best performance, the maximum level of comfort and quality over time.

RETÜL™Retül is the bike fit system of choice for many elite riders, amateur racers and cycling enthusiasts because it utilizes complete 3-D data analysis to optimize a riders’ biomechanics. Retül’s data-driven approach provides fit technicians with important information that ensures proper positioning of the connection points to the bicycle: shoes, saddle, and handlebars. This type of fit provides riders with the confidence that their equipment is set-up to provide optimal performance, with minimal risk of injury. That’s why we recommend Retül for bike fit and biomechanics advice.

CARBON FIBERWe use carbon fiber and carbon composites in Giro footwear because they provide exceptional performance that can be tuned to maximize stiffness, tensile strength, weight and form. While many companies utilize this cutting-edge material, we have the added advantage of having Easton® engineering expertise to further enhance the capabilities of this wonder material, allowing us to create thinner, lighter and stronger components.

EASTON® ENGINEERED OUTSOLE PLATESWe worked closely with the engineering staff at Easton to develop proprietary outsoles that provide the most direct, powerful connection to the pedals without compromising comfort. Using advanced modeling and proprietary fixturing in our extensive test lab, every outsole is engineered to provide ideal stiffness in 3 zones: Toe, Arch, and Heel, while maintaining the lowest possible weight and stack-height (as low as 6.5mm). Additionally, the flatter edges of our outsoles allow the shoe upper mate-rial to conform to larger or wider feet (what we call the “spillover” effect) without uncomfortable pinching or binding.

HIGH-VOLUME FITGiro “HV” footwear is built on proprietary, cycling-specific lasts that are specially designed to create a fit that hugs wider or higher-volume feet closely without binding, crowding or discomfort. In order to provide the most supportive and precise fit possible, our HV lasts are hand-crafted in whole and half-sizes too, so you get the best fit possible in a production shoe. Giro HV fit is recommended for widths from D-EE, and is an option for feet with very high instep.

PRECISION FITGiro footwear is built on proprietary cycling-specific lasts to create a fit that hugs the foot closely without binding, crowding or discomfort. Our lasts are hand-crafted specifically for cycling footwear in whole and half-sizes that are differentiated between men’s and women’s shoes, in order to provide the most supportive and precise fit possible in a production shoe.

NEUTRAL PLATFORMThe term Neutral Platform means that there is no tilt or permanent adjustment built-in to our shoes. By maintaining a neutral platform, riders who require wedges or other adjustments are free to choose from a variety of systems that best meet their needs over time, without having to compensate for unnecessary or improper adjustments that can compromise the fit or performance of their shoes, or cause stress to muscles or joints.

SUPERNATURAL FIT SYSTEM The Giro SuperNatural Fit System combines a cycling-specific footbed with an adjustable arch support kit. The system was developed with input from riders and cycling biomechanics experts, including Retül, the fitter of choice for teams like Garmin-Cervelo® and RadioShack®, among others. By simply choosing from any of the Low, Medium and High arch supports included in the kit, riders and fitters can independently adjust arch support to enhance fit and pedaling efficiency while reducing or eliminating common discomforts like hotspots, numbness and cramping. The system is available in men’s and women’s sizes, and incorporates X-Static® fibers in the footbed to fight odors and other bacteria.

SONIC WELDED ARMOR Sonic welding is a process that uses sonic waves and pressure to fuse two elements together permanently. Utilizing this process to add a layer of armor to soft fabrics results in a more durable bond that is also cleaner and more accurate than traditional adhesives, and lighter too.

Made in Japan and engineered to provide the same supple feel of the finest natural leathers, it is durable and breathable yet resists moisture, stretching and discoloration that can degrade the fit and feel of shoes over time. It is also available in a wide range of thicknesses and densities that can be optimized to enhance the feel and performance of premium shoes.

AEGIS® MICROBE SHIELDThe Aegis Microbe Shield is an anti-microbial barrier that permanently bonded with the fabric. It uses the power of a tiny positive electrical charge to inhibit the presence of odor-causing microbes that can cause odor, discoloring or fading, so your shoes stay fresh and odor-free.

PORON® XRD™ Poron XRD is a soft, shock-absorbing material specifically engineered to absorb up to 90% of impact energy, without a loss of performance from repeated impacts. Using “intelligent molecules”, Poron® XRD™ remains supple and flexible until impacted, when the molecules lock together immediately to deflect and help absorb shock. Other benefits include “open cell, breathable” performance with antifungal properties, and no latex, PVCs, VOCs, or heavy metals.

VIBRAM® Vibram is the world leader in high performance rubber soles, with technologically advanced compounds like HydroGrip, the stickiest moldable compound in the Vibram arsenal and developed specifically for flatpedal riding in dry and wet conditions; and Megagrip, a high performance sticky compound with significantly more durability and only a minimal decrease in friction compared to IdroGrip. All Vibram soles are produced with three objectives: to guarantee the best performance, the maximum level of comfort and quality over time.

RETÜL™Retül is the bike fit system of choice for many elite riders, amateur racers and cycling enthusiasts because it utilizes complete 3-D data analysis to optimize a riders’ biomechanics. Retül’s data-driven approach provides fit technicians with important information that ensures proper positioning of the connection points to the bicycle: shoes, saddle, and handlebars. This type of fit provides riders with the confidence that their equipment is set-up to provide optimal performance, with minimal risk of injury. That’s why we recommend Retül for bike fit and biomechanics advice.

CARBON FIBERWe use carbon fiber and carbon composites in Giro footwear because they provide exceptional performance that can be tuned to maximize stiffness, tensile strength, weight and form. While many companies utilize this cutting-edge material, we have the added advantage of having Easton® engineering expertise to further enhance the capabilities of this wonder material, allowing us to create thinner, lighter and stronger components.

EASTON® ENGINEERED OUTSOLE PLATESWe worked closely with the engineering staff at Easton to develop proprietary outsoles that provide the most direct, powerful connection to the pedals without compromising comfort. Using advanced modeling and proprietary fixturing in our extensive test lab, every outsole is engineered to provide ideal stiffness in 3 zones: Toe, Arch, and Heel, while maintaining the lowest possible weight and stack-height (as low as 6.5mm). Additionally, the flatter edges of our outsoles allow the shoe upper mate-rial to conform to larger or wider feet (what we call the “spillover” effect) without uncomfortable pinching or binding.

HIGH-VOLUME FITGiro “HV” footwear is built on proprietary, cycling-specific lasts that are specially designed to create a fit that hugs wider or higher-volume feet closely without binding, crowding or discomfort. In order to provide the most supportive and precise fit possible, our HV lasts are hand-crafted in whole and half-sizes too, so you get the best fit possible in a production shoe. Giro HV fit is recommended for widths from D-EE, and is an option for feet with very high instep.

PRECISION FITGiro footwear is built on proprietary cycling-specific lasts to create a fit that hugs the foot closely without binding, crowding or discomfort. Our lasts are hand-crafted specifically for cycling footwear in whole and half-sizes that are differentiated between men’s and women’s shoes, in order to provide the most supportive and precise fit possible in a production shoe.

NEUTRAL PLATFORMThe term Neutral Platform means that there is no tilt or permanent adjustment built-in to our shoes. By maintaining a neutral platform, riders who require wedges or other adjustments are free to choose from a variety of systems that best meet their needs over time, without having to compensate for unnecessary or improper adjustments that can compromise the fit or performance of their shoes, or cause stress to muscles or joints.

SUPERNATURAL FIT SYSTEM The Giro SuperNatural Fit System combines a cycling-specific footbed with an adjustable arch support kit. The system was developed with input from riders and cycling biomechanics experts, including Retül, the fitter of choice for teams like Garmin-Cervelo® and RadioShack®, among others. By simply choosing from any of the Low, Medium and High arch supports included in the kit, riders and fitters can independently adjust arch support to enhance fit and pedaling efficiency while reducing or eliminating common discomforts like hotspots, numbness and cramping. The system is available in men’s and women’s sizes, and incorporates X-Static® fibers in the footbed to fight odors and other bacteria.

SONIC WELDED ARMOR Sonic welding is a process that uses sonic waves and pressure to fuse two elements together permanently. Utilizing this process to add a layer of armor to soft fabrics results in a more durable bond that is also cleaner and more accurate than traditional adhesives, and lighter too.

RETÜL™Retül is the bike fit system of choice for many elite riders, amateur racers and cycling enthusiasts because it utilizes complete 3-D data analysis to optimize a riders’ biomechanics. Retül’s data-driven approach provides fit technicians with important information that ensures proper positioning of the connection points to the bicycle: shoes, saddle, and handlebars. This type of fit provides riders with the confidence that their equipment is set-up to provide optimal performance, with minimal risk of injury. That’s why we recommend Retül for bike fit and biomechanics advice.

CARBON FIBERWe use carbon fiber and carbon composites in Giro footwear because they provide exceptional performance that can be tuned to maximize stiffness, tensile strength, weight and form. While many companies utilize this cutting-edge material, we have the added advantage of having Easton® engineering expertise to further enhance the capabilities of this wonder material, allowing us to create thinner, lighter and stronger components.

EASTON® ENGINEERED OUTSOLE PLATESWe worked closely with the engineering staff at Easton to develop proprietary outsoles that provide the most direct, powerful connection to the pedals without compromising comfort. Using advanced modeling and proprietary fixturing in our extensive test lab, every outsole is engineered to provide ideal stiffness in 3 zones: Toe, Arch, and Heel, while maintaining the lowest possible weight and stack-height (as low as 6.5mm). Additionally, the flatter edges of our outsoles allow the shoe upper mate-rial to conform to larger or wider feet (what we call the “spillover” effect) without uncomfortable pinching or binding.

HIGH-VOLUME FITGiro “HV” footwear is built on proprietary, cycling-specific lasts that are specially designed to create a fit that hugs wider or higher-volume feet closely without binding, crowding or discomfort. In order to provide the most supportive and precise fit possible, our HV lasts are hand-crafted in whole and half-sizes too, so you get the best fit possible in a production shoe. Giro HV fit is recommended for widths from D-EE, and is an option for feet with very high instep.

PRECISION FITGiro footwear is built on proprietary cycling-specific lasts to create a fit that hugs the foot closely without binding, crowding or discomfort. Our lasts are hand-crafted specifically for cycling footwear in whole and half-sizes that are differentiated between men’s and women’s shoes, in order to provide the most supportive and precise fit possible in a production shoe.

NEUTRAL PLATFORMThe term Neutral Platform means that there is no tilt or permanent adjustment built-in to our shoes. By maintaining a neutral platform, riders who require wedges or other adjustments are free to choose from a variety of systems that best meet their needs over time, without having to compensate for unnecessary or improper adjustments that can compromise the fit or performance of their shoes, or cause stress to muscles or joints.

SUPERNATURAL FIT SYSTEM The Giro SuperNatural Fit System combines a cycling-specific footbed with an adjustable arch support kit. The system was developed with input from riders and cycling biomechanics experts, including Retül, the fitter of choice for teams like Garmin-Cervelo® and RadioShack®, among others. By simply choosing from any of the Low, Medium and High arch supports included in the kit, riders and fitters can independently adjust arch support to enhance fit and pedaling efficiency while reducing or eliminating common discomforts like hotspots, numbness and cramping. The system is available in men’s and women’s sizes, and incorporates X-Static® fibers in the footbed to fight odors and other bacteria.

SONIC WELDED ARMOR Sonic welding is a process that uses sonic waves and pressure to fuse two elements together permanently. Utilizing this process to add a layer of armor to soft fabrics results in a more durable bond that is also cleaner and more accurate than traditional adhesives, and lighter too.

While many companies utilize this cutting-edge material, we have the added advantage of having Easton® engineering expertise to further enhance the capabilities of this wonder material, allowing us to create thinner, lighter and stronger components.

EASTON® ENGINEERED OUTSOLE PLATESWe worked closely with the engineering staff at Easton to develop proprietary outsoles that provide the most direct, powerful connection to the pedals without compromising comfort. Using advanced modeling and proprietary fixturing in our extensive test lab, every outsole is engineered to provide ideal stiffness in 3 zones: Toe, Arch, and Heel, while maintaining the lowest possible weight and stack-height (as low as 6.5mm). Additionally, the flatter edges of our outsoles allow the shoe upper mate-rial to conform to larger or wider feet (what we call the “spillover” effect) without uncomfortable pinching or binding.

HIGH-VOLUME FITGiro “HV” footwear is built on proprietary, cycling-specific lasts that are specially designed to create a fit that hugs wider or higher-volume feet closely without binding, crowding or discomfort. In order to provide the most supportive and precise fit possible, our HV lasts are hand-crafted in whole and half-sizes too, so you get the best fit possible in a production shoe. Giro HV fit is recommended for widths from D-EE, and is an option for feet with very high instep.

PRECISION FITGiro footwear is built on proprietary cycling-specific lasts to create a fit that hugs the foot closely without binding, crowding or discomfort. Our lasts are hand-crafted specifically for cycling footwear in whole and half-sizes that are differentiated between men’s and women’s shoes, in order to provide the most supportive and precise fit possible in a production shoe.

NEUTRAL PLATFORMThe term Neutral Platform means that there is no tilt or permanent adjustment built-in to our shoes. By maintaining a neutral platform, riders who require wedges or other adjustments are free to choose from a variety of systems that best meet their needs over time, without having to compensate for unnecessary or improper adjustments that can compromise the fit or performance of their shoes, or cause stress to muscles or joints.

SUPERNATURAL FIT SYSTEM The Giro SuperNatural Fit System combines a cycling-specific footbed with an adjustable arch support kit. The system was developed with input from riders and cycling biomechanics experts, including Retül, the fitter of choice for teams like Garmin-Cervelo® and RadioShack®, among others. By simply choosing from any of the Low, Medium and High arch supports included in the kit, riders and fitters can independently adjust arch support to enhance fit and pedaling efficiency while reducing or eliminating common discomforts like hotspots, numbness and cramping. The system is available in men’s and women’s sizes, and incorporates X-Static® fibers in the footbed to fight odors and other bacteria.

SONIC WELDED ARMOR Sonic welding is a process that uses sonic waves and pressure to fuse two elements together permanently. Utilizing this process to add a layer of armor to soft fabrics results in a more durable bond that is also cleaner and more accurate than traditional adhesives, and lighter too.

DUPONT®

For more than 200 years, DuPont has brought world-class science and engineering to innovative products, materials and services. DuPont nylon, including Zytel™ nylon, is a versatile performance material that can be tuned to meet a wide range of performance needs. It’s tough, light and surprisingly resilient in a variety of conditions and environments, with excellent performance levels that are maintained much longer than traditional nylons.

WOMEN’S SERIES The Women’s Series™ is a complete collection of fits, styles and prices that are uniquely tailored to female riders. Each Women’s Series shoe is available with a level of detail that is unique within the line, and also features specific sizing and patterning in order to support the lower volume and narrower heel of a woman’s foot. The one thing that isn’t different is the level of performance since we use the same top-quality materials and technologies found in our premium men’s shoes. All together, we believe the Women’s Series offers a range of options that suit nearly any need, and with more compelling styles than competing brands.

X-STATIC® FIBERS X-Static fibers are made with layers of pure silver that are permanently bonded to the surface of the fabric. Silver offers 100% natural anti-microbial performance that helps to reduce odor and regulate heat, so your feet stay fresh and comfortable, naturally.

TEIJIN® MICROFIBER Teijin microfiber is widely considered to be the world’s finest synthetic leather. Made in Japan and engineered to provide the same supple feel of the finest natural leathers, it is durable and breathable yet resists moisture, stretching and discoloration that can degrade the fit and feel of shoes over time. It is also available in a wide range of thicknesses and densities that can be optimized to enhance the feel and performance of premium shoes.

AEGIS® MICROBE SHIELDThe Aegis Microbe Shield is an anti-microbial barrier that permanently bonded with the fabric. It uses the power of a tiny positive electrical charge to inhibit the presence of odor-causing microbes that can cause odor, discoloring or fading, so your shoes stay fresh and odor-free.

PORON® XRD™ Poron XRD is a soft, shock-absorbing material specifically engineered to absorb up to 90% of impact energy, without a loss of performance from repeated impacts. Using “intelligent molecules”, Poron® XRD™ remains supple and flexible until impacted, when the molecules lock together immediately to deflect and help absorb shock. Other benefits include “open cell, breathable” performance with antifungal properties, and no latex, PVCs, VOCs, or heavy metals.

VIBRAM® Vibram is the world leader in high performance rubber soles, with technologically advanced compounds like HydroGrip, the stickiest moldable compound in the Vibram arsenal and developed specifically for flatpedal riding in dry and wet conditions; and Megagrip, a high performance sticky compound with significantly more durability and only a minimal decrease in friction compared to IdroGrip. All Vibram soles are produced with three objectives: to guarantee the best performance, the maximum level of comfort and quality over time.
