Giro shoes differ significantly from shoes from other manufacturers in three ways: the last, the individual adjustment to the arch of the foot and the carbon soles, which were developed together with the carbon specialist Easton®.

The Last: To achieve the best fit, you need the perfect last. The Giro lasts were developed by a team of shoe designers, last specialists, biomechanists and professional cyclists. They were revised 16 times and had to withstand thousands of test kilometers on the road.

Arch support: The cyclist's foot needs the right support to ensure efficient power transfer to the pedal. Without support, the foot tires more quickly, the comfort and fit of the shoe is poor, and the rider's strength even decreases. The Giro SuperNatural Fit System combines a bicycle-specific footbed with ingeniously easy-to-adjust arch support. The fit and heel hold are improved and the foot is kept as close to the pedal as possible. Typical problems such as hypersensitive areas, numbness and cramps occur less frequently or no longer occur at all. There are three included arch supports to choose from, which are attached to the SuperNatural Fit footbed with Velcro and with which the fit and comfort can be individually adjusted: Large (large - red) = maximum height, Medium (medium - orange) = medium height and Small (small – green) = lowest height.

The sole: Giro uses the know-how of the carbon specialist Easton® when developing the outsole. The result is a sole with maximum rigidity without increasing weight or sacrificing comfort and fit, exactly in line with the needs of professional riders. The soles have the lowest possible height with a maximum of 6.5mm in the area of ​​the cleat threads, the other zones are extremely flat. This extremely low sole profile allows a flat, seamless transition between shoe and sole.
