    Giro Empire VR90 Mountain Bike Shoes Jewel Blue/Black review by Professional Review from Road.cc, on 28/04/2017

    5

    Giros Empire VR90 shoes are super-comfortable with no lack of stiffness from the carbon sole. Their treaded grippy sole makes them ideal for cyclo-cross racers, adventure cyclists and mountain bikers, as well as a stylish alternative to regular road racing shoes. Giro made waves in the cycling world when it reintroduced laces to a top-end carbon fibre race shoe a couple of years ago, and the Empire has gone on to be hugely popular. They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and other shoe brands (Specialized, Bontrager, Northwave...) have since brought out lace-up shoes. Laces are very much back in fashion then.

    In use, the VR90 shoes are stiff, offering all the power transfer any racer needs, yet the fit and comfort is fantastic. They offer all the performance of a top-end road shoe but with the practicality that a rubber tread and SPD cleat offers for when youre off the bike, making them ideal for touring, audax and winter club rides with a coffee shop stop. Okay, so the laces take a little more time to do up and to get the tension across the top of the foot just right compared with buckles and straps, but unless youre doing a triathlon its of little consequence. After a couple of rides you get the knack for applying just the right tightness and you never look back.

    Another benefit of the laces is simply that theyre lighter than many shoes with buckles or dials. Weight for a pair of size 45 shoes is 640g. There is arguably less to go wrong as well – theres much less chance of a lace snapping in a crash than breaking a dial or ratchet.

    The upper is well shaped. It compares favourably to other Giro shoes, and shoes from other brands Ive tested recently, including Sidi, Fizik and Specialized. Theres just enough give and stretch in the upper material to adapt to your feet, but without allowing your feet to squirm around inside when pushing hard on the pedals. Giros SuperNatural Fit footbed also uses interchangeable arch supports so you can customise the fit.

    The Vibram rubber tread provides loads of grip when youre scrabbling up a rooty and rocky climb, and the tread pattern clears quite easily so you dont carry around too much extra weight. The studs are definitely to be used if the cyclo-cross course has any steep banks that require dismounting, and are useful if heading further afield over more challenging terrain than the local school playing field typically used for cyclo-cross races. The shoes clean up well after muddy rides: the upper scrubs up well, and they dry out quickly after a soaking in the rain. This colour option is a practical one for British winter riding and cyclo-cross, but there are brighter (louder) colours available if you want to stand out.

    Ive been racing cyclo-cross in these shoes all winter, and theyve been flawless. Away from racing, Ive also used them for mountain bike rides, where theyre also brilliant, and the grippy sole is ideal when the trail forces you to dismount and push. But Ive also been using them on the road too, because theyre so comfortable and practical when youre off the bike. All in all All the performance of a top-end carbon road shoe with the practicality of a treaded sole.
