We think that most will agree with us that we use clipless shoes and pedals for better grip and efficiency but that doesn't mean that our shoes shouldn't look good. Shoes should also be comfortable and if it's more of a daily commute or a commute, we don't always want to make our shoes scream “bicycle idiot”. Jiro helps us and that's where the excellent Men's Republic R Knit Shoe comes in. We encourage you to find another set of sneakers which look just as great and attach to the pedals.

New to the Giro line this year is a knitted upper and these Republic use Xnetic Knit material specially designed for harsh cycling conditions. Knitted fabric provides incredible flexibility , comfort and breathability. What if it rains, we hear as you ask. They are treated with DWR for water repellency and easy cleaning and on the front of the shoe, a rubber toe shield combines with a bonded TPU heel counter on the back which provides increased durability and abrasion resistance. Inside the shoe, a TPU skeletal system provides support for the knitted upper , and Giro uses a molded EVA footbed providing a medium level of arch support. Reflective laces keep you safe after sunset , and a molded nylon-rubber outsole provides the traction you need. allowing you to safely touch the ground.

Giro Republic R Knit sneakers are available in sizes from 37 , 0 to 48 , 0 and available in black/charcoal heather and midnight/blue heather.
