The Giro Men's Carbide R II Cycling Shoes are XC shoes with the comfortable, supportive fit found in the rest of Giro's premium shoes. They have added a nylon and rubber co-molded outsole for impressive durability, grip and traction in rocks and mud. The upper combines supple synthetic fiber with mesh panels for increased breathability and lighter weight. A stout-injected nylon sole helps transfer power to the pedals instantly, enhancing your connection to the bike.
