Discount Giro 2012 Mens Prolight SLX Road Bike Shoes

Customer Ratings:

one of the reasons that prompted me to seek a better shoe for my road biking endeavors was that my feet got really numb last fall during a 60 mile event on a softer sole, cross shoe... Saw these at a local bike shop and tried them on to make sure they fit well, then found a great deal here! The conclusion is that the stiff sole, light yet solid upper material make for a great shoe... My feet were just fine after 50 miles last weekend! Highly recommended, as long as you don't have an overly wide foot or an unusually high arch.

Footwear like all other contact points in cycling is largely a matter of personal preference and experience. I have a fairly average foot that is perhaps a tiny bit narrow and these shoes fit and feel great. As for the features, you've probably already read a lot about this shoe so this review will be limited. As advertised, this shoe is surprisingly light even with the relatively heavy speedplay cleat and adapter which is what makes me long for a SP specific sole. The velcro fasteners are also quite good. I was skeptical after using so many ratchet closures over the years, but the material is supple enough to micro adjust and they actually change the fit of the shoe. other shoes' velcro straps have left me wondering why they included them at all. The varying arch support is also a nice feature even though cycling doesn't engage the foot in the same way as walking or running.

The sizing proved to be a little off for me. Interestingly, I recently also bought the Rapha Grand Tour shoe in 42.5, which seems to fit fine. The Giro's 42.5 which uses the same sole had my toes touching the ends of the shoe, so I went up to the 43's which ended up being a little large. Comfortable, but generous for only a half size difference. None of these things is enough of a problem to take away from a great and very lightweight shoe

I've been riding in these for a couple months now, they are extremely comfortable and light. I've banged them up but they still work really well. Also they clean super easy so you can keep them looking pretty and pearly white.

Honest reviews on Giro 2012 Mens Prolight SLX Road Bike Shoes

These shoes are the best cycling shoes I have ever owned! The only reason I give them 4 stars instead of 5 is because they are just a tad wide for my foot. I do have a narrow foot, though. They are by no means uncomfortable, I just wish they were a tad bit more snug. All-in-all a superb cycling shoe, though.

I tried a pair of size 43's on at a local store. They fit perfectly, so I bought a pair online. What I didn't realize is, the shoes come with an insert that includes arch support. The store model didn't have the insert in, so when I got mine and put in the insert things were a bit snug.

Fortunately a few hours with a shoe tree inside was sufficient to make them fit perfectly.

Anyway, I love the shoes, they are lightweight, comfortable, and stylish (well, as stylish as cycling shoes get...)
