Cadet II Cycling Shoe - Men's

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I like the Cadet II for riders who want a performance road shoe without jumping to full carbon. The BOA L6 dial makes quick micro-adjustments easy mid-ride, and the nylon-and-fiberglass plate feels stiff and responsive under load. The upper wraps comfortably with good ventilation, making it a great option for long road miles and training rides."

On the road, small details add up to big performance gains. The Giro Cadet II Cycling Shoe is engineered for riders who care about fit, efficiency, and long-mile comfort—whether chasing a PR or settling into a steady weekend group ride.

A supple one-piece synthetic upper conforms to the foot, while laser perforations enhance airflow during high-output efforts. The single BOA L6 dial provides precise, even tensioning for a secure fit that’s easy to adjust on the fly. Beneath the foot, an injected nylon-and-fiberglass plate is designed to minimize weight while maximizing power transfer, delivering a responsive feel with every pedal stroke. Finished with durable TPU walking pads and 3-bolt cleat compatibility, the Cadet II blends pro-level features with accessible performance for dedicated road cyclists.
