Giro Imperial II AS Shoe races stiffer in cold weather
The Giro Imperial II AS Cycling Shoe carries a new forged carbon outsole plate that's stiffer than the previous Imperial generation, without adding weight to the shoe's 234-gram frame in size 43. Dual BOA® Li2 dials adjust independently in both directions, so the fit tightens exactly where it needs to during a hard effort. A one-piece thermally bonded TPU upper eliminates seams entirely, holding its shape and breathability across the cooler conditions this all-season version is built for.
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"I wore these through a cold, damp early-season ride and the plate never lost its stiffness the way some shoes go dead in the cold. My foot stayed locked in through every hard pedal stroke, not just on the warm days."

It has no listed waterproof rating, so it’s better suited to cool, generally dry rides than sustained rain.What fit and closure adjustments does the Giro Imperial II AS offer?
Its close, race-oriented fit pairs a one-piece thermo-bonded TPU upper with the Dual BOA Li2 Fit System for on-the-fly micro-adjustments. The Supernatural Fit System footbed is also included.How stiff is the Giro Imperial II AS sole for road riding?
The forged carbon fiber outsole plate is designed to improve stiffness by 2Nm, supporting efficient power transfer on the road. The shoe is built for pedaling, rather than comfortable walking off the bike.Which cleats fit the Giro Imperial II AS?
The Giro Imperial II AS has a 3-bolt cleat compatibility pattern for road cycling. Match your road cleats to that mounting pattern and your pedal system.How do I choose a size in the Giro Imperial II AS?
