Giro Imperial AS shoe review: Can an all-weather white shoe really hack it in the winter?

Giro Imperial AS road cycling shoes.

I’ve always been a fan of Giro’s shoe portfolio and have used an array of models over the years - including the Factor, Prolight Techlace, Empire, Regime, and Imperial, which differ vastly in terms of intentions and closure systems. Of all the options, the Imperial has remained one of my best cycling shoes owing to its superb fit and ventilation.

White shoes have never really appealed to me, but since moving to the UK in 2019, I’ve slowly started to appreciate the clean and clinical look it provides, but keeping this colour clean throughout the year has always proved a challenge – until now.
