The best shoes I ever had! Especially no pressure points more as I had before with boa's, laces solves everything. Also very light and breathable. Bonus point are the adaptable inner soles!

Classic lace closure means there's plenty of adjustment to ensure a secure and snug fit.

I’m a 43 in the old (original) Empire SLXs. They fit like a glove with a custom footbed. Some say I should size up on these but I’m confused. What size should I be getting? Stay the same or size up? Or buy both and try them on? Thanks,
Hi there, Best is to buy w sizes and see what works best, Many thanks Joe W
Do Giro Empires no longer come in size 43? I am trying to replace my current pair (size 43) but the sizes seem to skip from 42 to 44!
Hi Jane, The 43 is sold out in the black but available in the other colours, Many thanks Joe W
Hi everyone. People recommend sizing up when buying the Giro Empire Slx 2020 shoes. Can I ask if this is due to width or length of the feet? Mine are 265 and 270mm, which indicates a size 8/42. I have narrowish feet. Thanks for any advice on this.
Hi Earle, These are a narrow shoe which is why some people are sizing up, If you have narrow feet you shouldn't have an issue, Many thanks Joe W
