From the speed of gravel or XC mountain bike races to mixed-road/off-road adventures, the Empire VR90 Off-Road Shoes won't let you down when it comes to comfort and power transfer. It starts with the one-piece TEIJIN® Samo™ upper, delivering a wonderfully snug fit that won't stretch or sag however much (ab)use the trails mete out. You also get the iconic Empire lace-up design - simple, light, easy to adjust and won't let you down in the backcountry. Finishing off the comfort focus is Giro's SuperNatural Fit footbed, letting you dial in the fit and arch support to your own preference.

The Empire V90s come with a stiff pro-level Easton® EC90 full carbon outsole propelling you forward with maximum efficiency. Inevitably you'll need to hop off the bike and push or carry when you're off-road and here the moulded Vibram® rubber tread delivers fabulous traction, letting you scramble across the terrain with ease. For particularly muddy days the sole is compatible with toe spikes too.

Giro Empire VR90 Off Road Shoes (2020) is rated 5.0 out of 5 by 2.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Blake76 from Love these Do they look a bit like 1950’s footballs boots. Maybe. But they are supremely comfortable out the box. My second ride was 100k road and they gave me zero problems. The EC90 sole is stiff enough and very light. I’m normally a 42 but found these just a little too tight so sized up to 43. I’ve got room but not too much. Actually think I could get a slightly thicker winter sock in the 43 too. Road or gravel these are fantastic.

Rated 5 out of 5 by tigerputty1 from Great shoes I have bought these shoes, as I wanted some shoes that were similar to my Giro Empire SLX road shoes. I was initially a bit worried that these shoes would need time to "break" in as the road versions did. I had also read some reviews which claim that the Empire vr90 shoes were slimmer than their road counterparts, but I ordered the shoes in a similar size as those I use on the road. I have only used these shoes for gravel, but these shoes fit perfectly in a size similar to my road Empire shoes! There are no spots in which the feet feel crammed or any hot spots. Perfect shoes that you do not notice! I can not comment on heel slippage, as I have not used them for running or hike-a-bike that much. The red/ orange is more of a bronze hue, than red/ orange.

I've got the Giro Empire in size 44.5 and they fit perfectly. What size would you recommend in these?
