Fizik R5 Uomo – BOA – Black/Dark Gray 45/11 1/2 Mens Shoes Bike/Cycling
While the Fizik R1 Uomo shoes are some of the most comfortable, high performance shoes we’ve worn, they may be a little pricey for riders who want comfort but who aren’t rolling to that start line on a regular basis. For this reason, Fizik introduced the R5 Uomo Boa Men’s Shoes. While they aren’t sewn from kangaroo leather, the R5 uppers are highly breathable Microtex fabric with nylon mesh windows for ventilation. Inside of the uppers is Fizik’s Superlight Insole that supports your arches and absorbs road vibration. The uppers are placed on a carbon-reinforced nylon outsole that allows efficient power transfer while remaining on the lower end of the carbon cost spectrum. The stack height is low and the outsole is engineered to drive power to the pedals while remaining flexible enough for comfort on long rides. A molded heel cup helps to keep your foot in the ideal pedaling position while minimizing heel slippage. To secure the shoes to your feet, the R5 Uomo use the Boa closure system. Consisting of a single dial with a continuous loop, it is micro-adjustable for the perfect fit. A hook-and-loop closure at the forefoot adds a separate adjustment point to keep your toes happy.

Fisik shoes looked great, so I knew I wanted either the R5 with BOA clips or the R3 without BOA (which are both similarly priced). After riding on the R5, I can definitely say that they are very comfortable, stiff, and super easy to get in and out of them with the BOA clips.Regarding size, I measured the length of my feet and added a little more to ensure I had some toe room and cross-checked against Fisik’s sizing…
Love my new Fizik Shoes! These were my first pair of SPD SL compatible shoes, and they surpass my expectations, they are more comfortable than I could have imagined, fit Perfectly (Consistently wear 13US in all shoe types.. these were 47EU) they are light and the single BOA works flawlessly. Due to the temps at the moment I have been wearing 1 or 2 socks, in each case, the BOA cinches down perfectly. OH… and they look Great! One thing I to mention, I had to retighten the Cleat screws several times as the…
Fantastik road shoes! Very comfortable road shoes with easy to use fastening system. Clean look with true to life colors. The carbon reinforced sole is very stiff and give a smooth transfer of power into the pedals. The shoes are very easy to put on, adjust and take off. Granted, these are my first road shoes, but I love the fastening system. The one hook-and-loop strap on the toe doesn’t seem to add much, but the BOA system is wonderful. I took these with me to my local bike shop when my new bike was…
