XNETIC:
Xnetic Knit features a TPU skeletal system that is bonded with a knit material to offer support where you need it, whereas the knit fabric provides suppleness and breathability as well as a sock-like feel. Xnetic knit material is DWR treated for water resistance and easy cleaning. Toe and heel area
are reinforced with rubber and TPU to increase durability and protection.

EASTON EC70:
Lighter, stiffer and more comfortable. To develop this sole, Giro has used the expertise of the carbon specialist Easton®. The result is a sole that offers maximum stiffness without compromising on weight, comfort or fit – which perfectly meets the requirements of professional riders. Every sole is developed
to offer best stiffness in the toe, foot arch and heel area. The soles come with the lowest possible stack height (6.5 mm around the cleat holes, otherwise lower) This extremely low sole profile allows for a seamless unity between shoe and sole without compromising on fit. The upper perfectly wraps around your foot. The neutral platform supports your natural foot position while pedalling.
