Buckle up and get on the road with the Giro Apeckx Shoes. Taking design inspiration from Giro’s top-line Prolight and Factor shoe offerings, these shoes strike a streamlined profile with a wallet-friendly price tag. Swapping out the carbon sole offerings of their older siblings, these shoes come outfitted with a DuPont Zytel nylon sole. Although it doesn’t have the flashy ring of the word “carbon” or the classic carbon weave, DuPont engineered Zytel to provide carbon-like performance with a longer lifespan than your average carbon sole. Gather your friends for some long summer miles or sign up for a local race with confidence that these shoes will give you all the stiffness and responsiveness you’ll need to get power to the pedals.

Whether you’re just getting into cycling, or if you’re on a budget, the Shimano SH-WR32 Women’s Shoes blend comfort and durability with the rare option of interfacing with either road or mountain style clipless pedals. The uppers are synthetic leather that is stretch resistant to ensure that your shoes fit as well at the end of the season as at the beginning. Mesh inserts in the uppers provide airflow to keep your feet cool and dry. The uppers are built onto a durable Dynalast sole. While it’s not as stiff as a full carbon sole, you’ll be thankful for the small degree of flex after a long day in the saddle. And when you’re forced to walk in your cleats, the rubber heel lugs provide an extra bit of stability. To secure the SH-WR32s, you’ll find three hook-and-loop closures.

The Giro Privateer Shoes sheath your feet in a combination of performance and comfort not easily matched in shoes of a similar price point. Their uppers are constructed from a synthetic leather that is not only supple, it holds its shape for miles and miles of riding. It is also breathable so that your feet stay dry no matter how high the temperatures rise, and mesh inserts have been sewn into the uppers to speed up the evaporation process. The Privateer’s uppers are secured with a ratcheting buckle at the ankle and two hook and loop closures. The DuPont Zytel composite sole isn’t quite as stiff as a carbon sole, but it also isn’t as pricey. But, when it comes down to it, having a slightly more forgiving sole means more comfort for long hours in the saddle. The deep lugs provide traction when you need it. The EVA molded footbeds provide medium arch support that works with the sole to enhance comfort for the long haul. The Giro Privateer shoes are compatible with 2-hole mountain style cleats.

With Shimano’s Dynalast technology and a hollow-channeled, carbon-reinforced composite outsole, the SH-R107 Men’s Shoes bring the power-transferring stiffness, low weight, and general feel of pro-level shoes to a price point that won’t cost you one of the legs you’d like to attach them to. Dynalast is the big story here, as it’s the same design featured in Shimano’s flagship SH-R321 model. It involves re-shaping the footbed in order to limit the “dead time” of the pedal stroke. Shimano claims . 56% more efficiency on each pedal stroke–a gain that adds up to figuratively save your legs over the course of a 40-mile group ride, 50-mile race, or a charity century.
