What’s With These Laced Cycling Shoes?!

October 23, 2016 by Emma Lujan

Have you ever had the urge to wear your cycling kit to work and avoid all the changing in and out of cycling clothes to work attire?  With some laced cycling shoes you still won’t be able to, with your cleats click-clacking underneath you, but you will look like you belong at the office.  Laced cycling shoes are the newest-retro fashion statement at the moment, and there are plenty of laced cycling shoes available on the market today.

The Laces

Similar to running shoes, laced cycling shoes have 6-7 eyelets and require you to tie a bow and double-knot it before heading out the door.  These shoes offer an old-school European look while providing you with some stiff, lightweight performance footwear.  And best of all, they look like a super cool pair of shoes so they can complement any street attire and even impose as work shoes.

The Laced Cycling Shoes

Laced cycling shoes are easy to micro-adjust, with 7 different pressure points, compared to the typical three straps most cycling shoes come with.  They are durable in the elements and very lightweight with their only drawback being you cannot tighten them while you ride.  There are several companies making these awesome shoes and thus many different colors and designs to choose from.

Giro Empire

Giro has several different lines of the Empire including their SLX with full carbon sole and lightweight leather upper, their full reflective model, a women’s specific model, as well as their mountain bike laced shoe. Giro Empires come in a variety of colors, as well as laces so you can fully customize your shoes to match your personality.

Specialized S-Works Sub6

These shoes are incredibly lightweight, aerodynamic and come in a stealth matte black color scheme.

Vittoria 1976 Classic Series

This Italian company no doubt has recreated a laced cycling shoe to go with their trendy cycling clothing line. The 1976 Classics come in several different color options as well as fabric choices ranging from suede, leather and synthetic.

A Stylish Pair of Cycling Shoes

While you may never feel like running off your bike, at least with these shoes you will look as if you can.  Laced cycling shoes are a fantastic way to gain a competitive edge and to look pretty flashy while doing it!
