The men’s Giro Carbide R Shoes are your easy-on, performance-ready, nature-loving pedal mashers that are kind to the wallet. Tighten down the hook-and-loop straps and head out on an adventure where the only thing that matters is how mucky you get and how wide your grin becomes. The synthetic leather upper of the Carbide cleans easily, and the co-molded nylon and rubber sole provided stiffness and durability for whatever the trail brings.

Excellent Shoe! To start with, I’m an avid roadie. I average over 4,000 miles per year. My last pair of shoes were Soecialized BG, which were a little tight on my toes and often caused numbness on long rides. I wear at 13 U.S. which is a 48, but I ordered a 49, and I’m glad I did. These fit wonderfully and I have plenty of toe room. The soles are stiff, and they have excellent power transfer. These shoes are very comfortable. Another thing I like and these is that the cleats are recessed into the shoe better…
Well constructed, great sole, but very narrow. This shoe is a high quality shoe… seriously great power transfer on the bike and stable during short stints off the bike, but it’s narrow. I don’t normally wear a wide shoe at all so I figured these would be A.OK. Sure enough they fit fine length wise and even width was okish…. but after riding in them my pinky toes started to throb and they just got worse. I did a 3 hour ride on Saturday and today is Tuesday and one of my toes still hurts. If you don’t have abnormally narrow feet, don’t…
