Giro Cylinder Cycling Shoes – Men’s Blue/Black 42
Your riding takes you all over the mountain, so why wear a shoe that limits you to one discipline? In the Giro Cylinder Mountain Bike Shoe you’ll find versatile comfort that offers lightweight breathability for banging out miles of XC singletrack, and stiff, rugged support that has no problem blasting through rock gardens and weaving through techy tree lines. New to Giro’s lineup, the Cylinder takes queues from the Privateer, utilizing a co-molded nylon and rubber outsole for superior grip that doesn’t weigh you down, and stiff responsiveness that doesn’t bend under pressure. Unlike the Privateer, the Cylinder is created with a lighter weight upper construction. It features a combination of synthetic leather and mesh, allowing for unsurpassed breathability for moisture transfer and ventilation on warm days. The toe and heel feature reinforcement to protect you from trail debris when the singletrack gets a little wild. The upper secures your foot into place with an L6 Boa system, offering 1-millimeter adjustment increments when tightening, so you can perfectly dial in your fit, and a macro-release function for easy removal. On the inside, a die-cut insole adds just the right amount of cushion to your arch and heel, keeping you comfortable during long miles in the saddle. The co-molded nylon and rubber outsole accommodates steel toe spikes for solid grip on foot in variable conditions, if the beefy lugs aren’t enough to keep you planted on the trail. While admittedly less stiff than a carbon fiber outsole, the nylon provides significant rigidity for committing power, but allows just a touch of flex where you want it when you have to hike a bike. The outsole is graced with additional guard to shield your arch from chunky rocks and fallen branches in the mid foot area, so you can stay confident when the singletrack starts to get a little hairy, and the trail ahead offers little forgiveness.

Comfortable riding shoes These are a great pair of bike shoes. I use them for both road and mtb riding since I use SPD pedals on both bikes. I feel they run ever so slightly small, I ordered a size 45 and tend to wear 10.5 US so they may be a bit small, but the 45s work great for me. The sole is stiff enough I don’t feel any flex and there is enough ventilation to help keep my feet comfortable. I think the blue look great and goes well with the blue theme on my bikes. I did find this exact shoe in all black with high…
Couldn’t recommend these shoes more Couldn’t recommend these shoes more. I put mt. bike pedals on my road bike and wandered all over Cali- these shoes are awesome, so comfy when riding and transition seamlessly to traveling on foot. Perfect for all-day wear including going grocery shopping, meeting up with friends for lunch or even going out. Made extremely well and I love the design. Sole is grippy enough I never slipped on the pedals even w/out clipping in- really awesome when needing to make quick transitions and navigate…
