Giro Republic R Knit Cycling Shoe - Men´s

Comfort and efficiency, meet style.

We think most will agree with us that we use clipless shoes and pedals for a better connection to the bike and more efficiency, but it doesn´t mean our shoes don´t have to look good. The shoes also need to be comfortable and if it´s more of a casual spin or a commute to work, we don´t always want our shoes to scream "bike dork." Giro gets us and that’s where the excellent Men´s Republic R Knit Shoe slots in. We defy you to find another set of kicks that look this great and clip into pedals.

New to Giro´s line this year are knit uppers and these Republics sport a Xnetic Knit material that is specifically made for the rigors of cycling. The knit offers incredible suppleness for sock-like comfort and breathability. What about if it´s raining out we hear you asking. It´s DWR-treated for water repellency and easy cleaning, and on the front of the shoe, a rubber toe guard combines with a bonded TPU heel on the rear for increased durability and abrasion resistance. Inside the shoe, a TPU skeletal system provides support for the knit outer and Giro uses its molded EVA footbed, providing a medium level of arch support. Reflective laces help keep you safe after the sun goes down, while the nylon and rubber co-molded outsole provides the necessary traction for safely touching your feet down on the ground.

The Giro Republic R Knit shoes are available in whole sizes 37.0 to 48.0 and in the colors Black/Charcoal Heather, and Midnight/Blue Heather.
