Giro’s top-end shoes are some of the most elaborate on the market, not least the Empire SLX lace-up, but the Treble II, they say, offers power in simplicity.

The classic three-strap closure system and injected nylon outsole are simple but effective, with the shoe available in white, black or yellow.

An anti-microbial EVA footbed keeps everything fresh, while the upper, is made from a supple and breathable synthetic fibre. It’s nothing particularly exciting, but is effective – power in simplicity, indeed.
