Empire E70 Knit Cycling Shoes - Womens'

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"This shoe gives me the best of both worlds—breathable knit comfort and pro-level performance. I like how the Xnetic upper molds to my foot, especially on long climbs, but there’s still serious stiffness from the EC90 carbon sole. It’s my go-to for warm-weather training and indoor sessions on the trainer."

With the Giro Empire E70 Knit Shoe, road cyclists can finally enjoy the comfort of modern knit technology without compromising performance. Designed with Giro’s proprietary Xnetic Knit upper, this shoe offers unmatched breathability and a sock-like fit. An internal TPU skeletal system ensures structure and power stability, so you can push hard on long rides without sacrificing efficiency. The DWR-treated knit is also easy to clean and sheds light moisture, making it equally functional for outdoor rides or indoor training sessions.

The performance story continues underfoot with an Easton EC90 SLX carbon sole—a proven platform for elite-level power transfer. Stainless steel hardware keeps cleats secure, while a replaceable walking pad adds longevity. Riders can fine-tune arch support with the SuperNatural Fit Kit, and the XT2-treated footbed keeps odors at bay.

Compatible with all 3-bolt cleat systems, the Empire E70 Knit is a standout option for serious road cyclists, triathletes, or indoor enthusiasts seeking a balance of style, comfort, and top-tier performance. Whether logging miles outdoors or sweating through a power zone session inside, this shoe delivers comfort that doesn’t compromise.
