Sounds good - here giro is not well distributed so empires very hard to find, there is an sworks or specialised lace shoe too but the dmt is a bit of a work of art when u see it. Doesn’t really look like a cycling shoe and feels like a slipper on. Inner sole inside is junk though the empire slx are also lighter supposedly but I don’t know for sure as I never saw in person
On sale u can’t go wrong. I’m a sucker for on sale. If I could only find a really nice sailing yacht, beachfront condo, poke bowl lifetime supply all ‘on sale’ my life would be complete!
