2026 Giro Women's Cadet Shoe

The Women's Cadet shoe offers the best aspects of our premium road cycling shoes, including a Synchwire upper, carbon-fiber-reinforced outsole: and easy BOA® adjustment.

Details:

The Cadet W combines a supple, breathable Synchwire upper with a stout carbon fiber reinforced plate for pedaling efficiency, plus a supportive footbed with Aegis® anti-microbial treatment for optimal comfort and fit. The single BOA® L6 dial offers micro-adjustable tuning in 1 mm increments, and combined with the adjustable forefoot strap, cradles your foot securely. This shoe is a great choice for riders looking for inspired performance, lasting comfort, and value.

Key Features:

• Synchwire: Synchwire construction is a stitch-less upper that's vented and reinforced to create a lightweight cycling shoe with incredible airflow and structural integrity. Synchwire is an advanced composite of thermo-bonded film that provides overall durability; a non-woven internal sheet for distributing the force from the closure system to the upper for direct power transfer; and mono-filament mesh for ventilation.
• Boa® L6 Dials: The BOA® L6 Fit System provides fast micro-adjustability with the turn of the dial. The combination of the dial; lace; and guides reduces weight and provides finer adjustment (1mm increments) compared to traditional buckles; and it offers an instant release function too. The BOA Fit System dials and laces are guaranteed for the lifetime of the product.
• Carbon Composite Outsole: Our proprietary; advanced carbon composite outsole plate ensures efficient power transfer and responsive feel at the pedals; while allowing 5mm of adjustment for optimal cleat positioning. It's the ideal balance of stiffness and durability with light weight.
• Reflective Details: Reflective details enhance visibility at nighttime or in low-light conditions when illuminated by a light source; such as headlights; by returning the light back to the source and reaching the driver's eye.
