The Italian company previously majored in saddles but has built quite a following for its footwear since branching out into shoes in 2012. The R5B shoes are their most affordable road shoes and share much of the technology and features, and definitely the style, of the more expensive shoes in the range, but a few material differences makes them a lot less pricey, with very few drawbacks.**5911900(450-461)3/24

Nice so Far
So I was a bit apprehensive reading the reviews about the fit. I am a 45 and have consistently been with European designed shoes. Therefore I was concerned. These fit perfectly if you have worn brands such as Sidi or Diadora previously. They are designed to fit nicely around the foot. If you are use to more American designed footwear such as Specialized, Shimano or Giro that have large toe box I believe you will find them snug.These are lightweight and appear well constructed. My only concern is the BOA system is not the best design and the upper in not constructed evenly distribute pressure across the top of the foot. I'm not racing so it's not likely a problem where I'd feel either pinch points or me heel slipping in a sprint.

Worth the Upgrade!
I LOVE these shoes! I took on road biking 3 years ago and got serious about it pretty quickly. From upgrading my bike to then going clipless within a couple of months of it. I started with an entry level LOOK keep pedals and entry level Shimano shoes. After over 2500 miles of riding, I recently upgraded my shoes and my pedals (& my helmet and saddle), and what a difference its made. These Fizik shoes are firm yet comfortable. It took a few rides to break into. I am now riding so much faster and more confident knowing that my shoes won’t unclip during climbs. They look very sharp and are easy to tighten mid ride. I am already looking to get a back up pair.

Stiff yet comfortable
I've been using these road shoes for about 2 months now. They are stiff at the sole and sides of the shoe but the tongue is a bit softer so they are not uncomfortable. The ratcheting mechanism that tightens the laces is fast and convenient. Hopefully Fizik makes their shoe tongues with felt on the contact point of your foot in the future to give you a bit more cushioning. Fizik makes good stuff though. You won't be let down.

Fizik products are beautifully crafted
I have four of their saddles on my various bikes and thought I would try their shoes. They are beautiful, fit great and elegantly designed. I used them for Ironman 70.3 Arizona and they felt great and performed flawlessly with zero hot spots or irritation after just three days riding in them.

My new favorite bike shoes
Looks and feels well made. Fits true to size (43).I had no problems putting on my Speedplay cleats. BOA closure works perfectly. I was looking for white bike shoes and I found a perfect pair.
