Privateer Lace Cycling Shoe - Men's

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I love the simplicity of the Privateer Lace—no dials to break, no straps to wear out, just a secure fit every time. The sole is stiff enough for long climbs but still comfortable to walk in when the trail demands it."

We reach for the Giro Privateer Lace when we want a shoe that can take daily trail abuse while keeping things simple and dependable. The timeless lace-up closure lets us dial in the perfect fit without fuss, while the microfiber upper stands up to scuffs and weather on long days in the saddle.

Underfoot, the co-molded nylon and rubber outsole strikes the right balance between pedaling efficiency and off-bike traction. Whether we’re threading technical singletrack, grinding up forest service roads, or shouldering the bike for a hike-a-bike section, the Privateer Lace stays comfortable, supportive, and ready for more. It’s a modern trail shoe built with classic sensibility—perfect for riders who value reliability over flash.
