A new approach to off-road footwearGo ahead, take a second look. The Empire™VR70 Knit is unlike any mountain bike shoe you’ve ever seen. It features our new engineered Xnetic™Knit upper, which offers unparalleled comfort and breathability, with a bonded TPU exoskeletal system to provide support where you need it. The upper is DWR-treated for water repellence and easy cleaning, while a rubber toe guard and bonded TPU heel increase durability and abrasion resistance. A closed stretch-knit ankle cuff provides superior comfort, additional support and protection from skree out on the trail. All of this is built on top of a stout Easton® EC70 carbon fibre sole that offers pro-level stiffness, and a tough, moulded Vibram® rubber outsole that provides protection and grip when you’re off the bike.UPPER:Engineered Xnetic™KnitBonded TPU exoskeletal support structureClosed stretch-knit ankle cuffRubber toe guardBonded TPU heel guard DWR treatedEmpire laces: hold a knot, durable and lightOUTSOLE:Easton® EC70 carbon fibreMoulded Vibram® rubber high traction lugged outsoleAccommodates steel toe spikesFOOTBED:SuperNatural Fit Kit with adjustable arch supportAegis® anti-microbial fibreWEIGHT:380 grams (size 42)SIZING:40 – 48 in whole sizes onlyCUSTOMIZE YOUR EMPIRES WITH REPLACEMENT LACES
