Giro presents its first shoe collection

For the coming year, helmet manufacturer Giro is presenting a mountain bike and road bike shoe collection for the first time. The range includes two mountain bike and three road bike shoes for men and one model each for women.

After two years of development, the designers at Giro are presenting a small but manageable range. The two MTB men's models "Code" (top model) and "Gauge" are both available in different colors, while the women's model "Sica" will only be available in one color variant. Together with the engineers from Easton, which also belongs to the company group, an extremely stiff yet lightweight carbon sole has been developed. The sole of the MTB shoes is only 6.5 millimetres thick, which is intended to achieve optimum power transfer to the pedal and a low centre of gravity.

Giro works with replaceable insoles in the area of the arch of the foot. These can be easily replaced thanks to the Velcro fastening on the underside of the insole, guaranteeing optimum adaptation to the foot. Three insoles of different heights are available. Giro wants to gain a foothold in the high-end segment with its collection.
