00:00lace-up shoes are back but why do pros such as Paul Sexus go for lace-up shoes
00:06like these Giro Empire SLX2s well one reason might be aerodynamics the pros
00:13love a marginal gain don't they and not having a dial or anything sticking out
00:18the side of them well that's gonna be an advantage the second reason is weight
00:23these Giro's weigh just 220 grams and when you're climbing mountains every
00:29little really does help and the third reason why pros are going for lace-up
00:33shoes is comfort if you're riding in a grand tour the last thing you want is a
00:38set of shoes that are uncomfortable and that's why pros search high and low for a
00:43set of shoes that will be comfortable for more than 3,000 kilometers over a three
00:48week grand tour however that's not the reason I go for them I go for them because
