Knit comfort meets engineered support
you’ve seen knit technology in athletic footwear, but it’s new to cycling because cycling shoes require a mix of supple comfort and stout performance that athletic shoes don’t provide. The empire e70 knit for women features our proprietary xnetic knit upper, developed specifically for cycling with a tpu skeletal system and technical nylon core that creates the support you need to get the most out of your pedal stroke while remaining airy and supple, with sock-like comfort. Xnetic knit is also dwr-treated for water repellency and easy cleaning, and the reinforced toe and heel areas enhance durability and abrasion resistance. When you combine xnetic knit with a genuine easton carbon outsole, you get a powerful combination that’s also a step forward in cycling shoe design.
