Giro: Feel the difference of knitYou’ve seen knit technology in athletic footwear, but you haven’t seen it in cycling… until now. The women’s-specific Empire™E70 W Knit features our new engineered Xnetic™Knit upper, which offers unparalleled comfort and breathability. Xnetic Knit technology was developed for the specific needs of a cyclist. An internal TPU skeletal system provides support where you need it, while the knit offers suppleness for superior sock-like comfort. The upper is DWR-treated for water repellence and easy cleaning, and a TPU-reinforced toe and heel add durability and abrasion resistance. Plus, the style of the Empire E70 Knit is simply undeniable.UPPER:Engineered Xnetic™Knit Bonded TPU skeletal support structureTPU-reinforced toe and heelDWR treatedEmpire laces: hold a knot, durable and lightOUTSOLE:Easton® EC70 carbon compositeSteel hardwareReplaceable heel padsFOOTBED:Moulded EVA footbed with medium arch supportWEIGHT:230 grams (size 39)SIZING:36 - 42, including half-sizes from 3 7.5 - 41.5CUSTOMIZE YOUR EMPIRES WITH REPLACEMENT LACES
