Giro Men's Ventana Fastlace E-Bike MTB Trail Touring Shoes, 6.5 UK

Product Information

With this in mind, the Ventana manages to be a true all-day shoe without huge compromises. Fit and sizing And the commuter grey/school shoe colorway isn’t what I’d normally choose, but, hey - I’m a middle-aged dad so don’t ask me about taste. GIROは、昨年後半にデビューした IMPERIAL& EMPIRE SLX をはじめとする、2020年モデルのシューズにおいて、シューズラスト（足型）の見直し・改善を行い、これまで（2019年までのもの）よりも明らかに、 Keep in mind that the Ventana is not offered in half sizes, so it would be good if you can try before you buy. On the trail with the Giro Ventana Le maintien est globalement bon. Attention de bien choisir la taille qui vous correspond. Je chausse un petit 43 voir 42,5 et la taille 43 ne me garantissait pas un maintien parfait au niveau du talon. Mais avec la taille qui vous correspond RAS sur ce point.

Much of my mountain bike riding is done in warm weather conditions, and breathability is usually among the first things I notice with new shoes. The Ventana’s PU bonded mesh upper has excellent breathability that belies the shoe’s stout look. These shoes are compatible with MTB pedal systems, which use the 2-bolt cleat standard (SPD standard), e.g.: Shimano SPD, Time ATAC, CrankBrothers, CrankBrothers Race, Look MTB, Xtreme MTB, Wellgo MTB, Ritchey MTB. Also suitable for indoor trainers in gyms etc. Similarly, the Nylon shank Giro uses in the Ventana’s sole makes for satisfactory pedaling efficiency, but on rides longer than 40 miles with a lot of pedalling I started to miss my carbon-soled shoes. Here, we must remember the purpose for which the Ventana was developed: an “in-between” shoe merging features of XC and gravity riding shoes. While the lower profile should make them work well on a platform style clipless shoe, the rubber compound meant they skated and slid more than we’d like whether clipped in or not. Together with the inboard cleat position meaning less outboard foot support, that meant we had to raise the grip pegs to reduce accidental unclip or foot slip issues. The inboard cleat position definitely aligns the shoe more with DH rather than trail riders too. The basic idea is a shoe that meets the demands of rough all-mountain riding, while still offering a decent level of pedaling efficiency and all-day comfort.

The heart of the Ventana Fastlace Mountain Bike Shoes is their World Cup downhill race-proven sole with a super-stiff nylon shank. This gives instantaneous acceleration as you speed out of berms, tear up big booters and rip up trails with almost cross-country style efficiency. Inside, an injected EVA midsole takes some of the trail chatter out while reinforced toe and heel zones shrug off hits and abrasions. When you’re off the bike, the exclusive Sensor® rubber compound grip keeps you sure-footed and nimble across even the slipperiest of terrain. I have relatively thin feet, and off the bike there was a hint of heel slip when walking, but nothing too annoying. There is also an additional Velcro strap that makes it possible to dial in the fit even further, and I’ve found it very useful to cinch up the front of the shoe a touch more.

EMPIRE VR70 KNITや、PRIVATEER LACEは、EMPIRE E70 KNITと同様の、 少し細身ながらもリラックスできるフィット感になります。 ・幅広甲高の足形状に対応する、GIROシューズ HV（ハイボリューム）モデル The sole of the Giro Ventana is a relatively mildly treaded ‘Sensor’ rubber sole. There’s a full rubber covering, including the instep, with slightly chunkier heel and forefoot tread. The toe tread is very minimal.

A recent inventory of my cycling shoes revealed that most of my mountain biking shoes are the lightweight, stiff, carbon-soled type, which prioritize efficiency over comfort.My regular size in Giro, Shimano and Sidi shoes is 44.5-45, and the Ventana feels at the roomier end of the spectrum compared to all the shoes I own.

Der Name GIRO stammt aus dem italienischen und bedeutet übersetzt so viel wie „Rundfahrt“ oder „Umdrehung“ und steht symbolisch dafür, dass sich alles in Kreisen bewegt. The benefits of this cleat position are to have your foot in a more neutral position on the pedals and minimize heel rub on wide chainstays typical on modern long-travel bikes. SPD pedal traditionalists, however, might need an adjustment period to get used to this unusual cleat position. Features and stylingA comfortable fitting shoe but the inboard cleat position is a bit love-hate for some riders (Image credit: Guy Kesteven) MTB（特にダートジャンプやフリーライド、ダウンヒルなど）のオールマウンテン系のダートシューズに採用されており、主に トレイルの中での安定感、ペダルグリップ、強度などを重視した安心感のあるゆったりとしたフィット感によるものです。 The Ventana is not offering any pretense to be a XC shoe on steroids. It is a trail shoe with enhanced comfort, walkability and protection features that still manages to offer acceptable pedaling efficiency. Der kalifornische High-End Sporthersteller wurde 1985 in Scotts Valley, Kalifornien gegründet und hat sich seitdem zu einer innovativen Sport Marke im Bike und Snow Bereich etabliert. As someone who normally wears XC shoes, I thought the Ventana would be a bit of a chore to test - heavier, flexier, bulkier, less sculpted in the fit than my normal favorites. It’s all of those things, true, but over the last couple of months, I’ve preferred wearing it for most of my off-road rides.

The two models of Giro Ventana shoes are looked on as being the spiritual successor to the Terraduro – a shoe whose rise to prominence seemed to parallel the enduro racing movement that inspired it. And despite some early quality issues, the Terraduro has gone on to be as synonymous with trail riding and enduro racing as strapping an inner tube and a banana to your downtube. The new Giro Ventana Fastlace has some big shoes to fill. No pressure then, Giro… The Giro Ventana. The new all round trail and enduro shoe. I wouldn’t race in them, but not once in my everyday testing did I wish they were stiffer or lighter. I also didn’t have any trouble with the offset positioning of the cleat fixing, which makes the foot sit slightly more to the outside of the pedal than usual - in fact, I liked being a few millimeters clearer of the cranks. (If you’re susceptible to knee pain you might want to take advice before altering your stance like this though.) Alle GIRO Produkte sind perfekt auf den Körper des Fahrers abgestimmt, sodass sie das Fahrerlebnis nachhaltig verbessern und zur Steigerung der sportlichen Leistung beitragen. That said, I am a staunch convert to the convenience of BOA-style closure, and the ability to fine tune the fit on-the-fly is always good to have. The LP6 dial is a single-direction ratchet which tightens in 1mm increments.

Women’s Shoes

My only real quibble was that ironically for a shoe designed for comfortable hike-a-biking, my heel tended to slip upwards in the shoe when walking. At first, I thought the Boa was coming loose, but I don’t think it was that; it’s just a more relaxed fit around the tongue and collar of the shoe. Verdict
