We've long been impressed by Giro's cycling shoe range - the Techlace collection in particular, thanks to the Velcro/lace combination's ability to offer the best of both worlds. 

The Prolight version is particularly special for its groundbreakingly minimalist approach which is heavily loaded with tech but feather weight on the scales.
