The Giro Empire VR90 Cycling Shoe for men is an exceptionally lightweight but sturdy shoe made for cyclocross racing but versatile and comfortable enough to be worn on almost any ride. The laces, soft upper, and customizable insole create a built-for-you feel, although this shoe does run narrow, so it is wise to try it on before purchasing.

The Five Ten Freerider Contact Cycling Shoe for women is a highly breathable shoe with extraordinarily sticky rubber that keeps feet almost glued to the pedals.

While this shoe is a favorite for its grip on pedals and flexibility for walking, it is not as comfortable as many other models, particularly in the tight toe box, and is overall more appropriate for people with low-volume feet.
