Giro Prolight Easton EC90 SLX Carbon soled Road Shoe
MSRP $360+
The Prolight SLX redefines fit, feel and power-to-weight performance in a
lightweight shoe. Starting with a select Teijin microfiber upper that
shapes to your foot like a second skin, Giro added an ultralight EVA
footbed plus a SuperNatural Fit Kit footbed with adjustable arch support
so you can customize the fit to match your needs. The high-modulus Easton® EC90 SLX outsole
is exceptionally thin and light yet provides best-in-class stiffness
for maximum power transmission. Titanium hardware reduces weight even
further. If you’re looking for the lightest pro-level shoe without
compromise, this is it.
Giro shoes are significantly different from shoes of other producers in
three points: the last, the individual customization of the arch and the
carbon outsoles, developed with carbon specialist Easton®.
The last: To reach the best fit, the perfect last is necessary.
The lasts of Giro are developed by a team of shoe designers, last
experts, biomechanics and professional bikers. They were re-engineered
16 times and had to proof themselves over thousands of testing
kilometers on the road.
The arch support: The biker's foot needs the right support to
ensure an efficient power transfer to the pedal. Without this support,
the foot fatigues more quickly, the comfort and fit of the shoe get
meager and even the biker's force decreases. The Giro SuperNatural Fit System
combines a bike-specific footbed with an ingeniously easy adaptable
arch support. The fit and the hold of the heel get improved and the foot
stays as near as possible on the pedal. Typical problems like
hypersensitive spots, numbness and cramping appeare more rarely or even
no more longer at all. The 3 included different arch support your
individual choice. The chosen arch gets attached with velcro strip to
the SuperNatural Fit footbed. Through them fit and comfort can be
individually adapted: Large (red) = maximum height, Medium (orange) = medium height and Small (green) = lowest height.
The sole: Giro uses the know-how of carbon specialist Easton® to
develop the outsole. The result is a sole with maximum stiffness without
weight increase or losings in comfort and fit, just according to
demands of professional bikers. The soles come with a thickness as thin
as possible with max. 6,5mm at the cleat threads. This extremely low
sole profile enables a flat, smooth transition between upper and sole.
