Giro Imperial II – Premium Carbon Road Cycling Shoes
The Giro Imperial II is a high-performance road cycling shoe engineered for cyclists who demand exceptional power transfer, lightweight construction, and maximum comfort. Combining an innovative forged carbon outsole, a highly breathable Synchwire™ upper, and the precision of the BOA® Fit System with Dual Li2 Dials, the Imperial II delivers race-ready performance without compromising fit or comfort.
Designed for competitive road cyclists and dedicated enthusiasts, the Giro Imperial II offers an outstanding balance of stiffness, ventilation, and adjustability. Weighing just 235 grams (size 43), this premium cycling shoe is built for speed, efficiency, and long-distance performance.
Lightweight and Breathable Synchwire™ Upper
The Giro Imperial II features a completely redesigned Synchwire™ upper, constructed from lightweight TPU monofilament mesh. This innovative one-piece construction provides excellent breathability while maintaining the structural support required for efficient pedaling.
The seamless design minimizes pressure points and improves overall comfort, while a thermally bonded TPU reinforcement increases durability and stability. Integrated ventilation helps keep your feet cool, even during intense efforts and long summer rides.
Precision Fit with Dual BOA® Li2 Dials
The BOA® Fit System with Dual Li2 Dials allows precise, independent adjustment of the shoe's fit. With micro-adjustability in both directions, cyclists can easily fine-tune the tension for optimal comfort and foot retention.
The low-profile Li2 dials offer excellent durability and make adjustments possible while riding, ensuring a secure and personalized fit throughout every ride.
Forged Carbon Outsole for Maximum Power Transfer
At the heart of the Giro Imperial II is an entirely new unidirectional forged carbon outsole. Originally developed for motorsport applications, forged carbon technology allows complex shapes and optimized material distribution, creating an exceptionally stiff and lightweight platform.
Compared to the previous Imperial generation, the new outsole delivers a 20 Nm increase in stiffness, providing outstanding power transfer and pedaling efficiency. Whether sprinting, climbing, or maintaining a high pace, the Imperial II is designed to translate every watt into forward momentum.
Supernatural Fit System with Adjustable Arch Support
The Giro Imperial II features Giro's innovative Supernatural Fit System, designed to provide customizable arch support and improve overall foot stability.
The included footbed features interchangeable Low, Medium, and High arch support inserts, allowing riders to adjust the level of support to their individual foot anatomy.
Proper arch support can help distribute pressure more evenly, improve foot stability, and reduce common cycling discomforts such as numbness, hotspots, and cramping.
