Empire Vr90 Cycling Shoes - Women's

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

“I’ve ridden everything from alpine singletrack to race-day cross-country courses in the Empire VR90, and they never disappoint. The full carbon sole gives incredible power transfer, while the Vibram outsole provides solid grip when I’m off the bike. I love the lace-up design—it gives a perfect fit with zero pressure points.”

When we’re hammering up climbs or navigating rock-strewn switchbacks, we need a shoe that keeps up with every move. That’s why we ride with the Giro Empire VR90 MTB Shoe. This premium off-road shoe brings road-style precision to rugged trail rides, with a lace-up design that delivers an ultra-secure fit and a breathable Evofiber upper that molds to our foot like a second skin.

Underfoot, the Easton EC90 carbon sole gives us maximum stiffness for sprint efforts and extended climbs, while the Vibram rubber outsole maintains confidence when hike-a-bike is unavoidable. A SuperNatural Fit footbed lets us customize arch support, and toe spikes come included for aggressive traction when the trail turns nasty. Whether we’re chasing podiums or exploring high-mountain loops, the Empire VR90 lets us go harder, longer, and with more comfort.
