FizikFizik Unisex-Adult Tempo Powerstrap R5 Cycling Shoes, White, 11.5 US

I have hard feet to please! I just received these shoes and took them out on a 30 mile test run. The design of the shoes are flawless. Fizik took the time to implement a tongue Velcro strip so that the tongue does not shift around. I have ridden in many cycling shoes over the years. However, I have never found the shoes exactly the right width or length until now. The Tempos shoes are absolutely wonderful. My regular shoes I wear are a solid eight in street, boots and dress shoes. However, with cycling shoes this is never the case because my feet run a bit on the wide side. The Tempos fit me perfectly. I vouched to get the Power Straps because I always seem to be replacing boa lace kits at least once every other year on my Lake, Giro, and Specialized shoes. In those mentioned brands none of the have quite pleased my feet as well as the Fiziks. I did purchase a pair of winter Fizik Articas which led me to these shoes as the Articas were true to my actual foot size (41) Fixik 8 1/4. As for stiffness, they are pretty solid thus far, but I’m sure to get more results as my mileage progress. Will be buying more as prices drop on Amazon

I was looking for a second pair of Scott Road Pro shoes when Amazon suggested the Fizik Tempo R5 Powerstrap shoes at the same price. Not bad but I prefer the Scott shoes -- they fit my narrow feet better with thin socks and are cooler in summer. The Tempo R5 Powerstrap shoes have little ventilation and will feel hotter in summer. The Fizik was a bit wider than the Scott, and I had some metatarsal hot spots when pedaling hard. But using my favorite insoles, Profoot Miracle, resolved the fit and comfort problem.Quality appears to be good, as expected for Fizik. The Velcro power straps are okay, no better or worse than the two Velcro straps and third buckle strap on the Scott shoes. The Fizik upper is a bit too stiff to cinch down much on the toe box strap. With a little finesse it's easy to get the desired fit.These will probably be my cool weather shoes. There's room for thicker socks. I'll keep looking for another pair of Scott shoes for summer rides.

My first pair if Fizik's. The Powerstrap model receives rave reviews for value from many sources so gave it a try. They look great. The first couple rides i had hot spots on the outside of my foot but they get more comfortable with every ride. I noticed amazon reviews are all over the board on fit. One thing i noticed when i fully opened the shoe compartment is the tongue and sides have a velcro attachment to each other and you can snug them up to any confort level you want, wonder if the bad reviews knew this?The powerstrap is ok, the angle on mine isn't perfect, the strap grabs mostly on the inside 1/4 inch at the loop buckle hopefully it will stretch before it breaks. Not the best on ventilation so i am using them as a winter shoe but a great $100 choice for that.

I've been cycling for a few years and these are by far the best shoes I've worn. I've tried multiple versions of shimano and fizik and these are by far the most comfortable yet. Full disclosure my feet are almost a full size different between the left and right and fairly wide with a high arch, so finding a shoe that's fits is difficult. The straps on these shoes allow for unlimited flexibility and amazing comfort. Due yourself a favor and replace the insoles with something more comfortable and order at least a half size above your sneaker size.

This is my first experience with cycling shoes & clipless pedals (paired to speedplay pedals) - so bear that in mind for my review.I love the look of the shoe, it is very sleek, and the Velcro straps stay down and don't flare up at the ends. The shoe is quite stiff and I feel very well connected to the bike. If I find them too tight or loose I can reach down and adjust the straps as I'm riding which is nice.My only complaint, and the reason it's not 5-stars, is the width of the shoe. I don't usually need to buy wide shoes, but these seem quite tight and after the hour mark or so, I get some pain in the ball of my foot from being squeezed in the shoe. Thin socks paired with keeping the lower velcro strap looser has helped, but they still cause some discomfort.

These are awesome cycling shoes. I like Velcro closure more than BOA fit because of ease of use and simplicity. These shoes fit perfect. I wear a 9.5 in sneakers and I ordered these in size 9.5. Awesome fit. Also D or M width shoes are sometimes too narrow for me in some brands but these aren’t too narrow. The first pair of cycling shoes I purchased years ago were on sale but were two sizes too big. I’m happy I have shoes that fit now. The extra money spent on these for a great fit was worth it.

I got my blue fizik R5 right before Christmas day and used on 10 rides so far. I used to ride quite a lot back in 2009 (ironman and century) and stop since then. Now coming back to it and need new gear (pretty old and beat up). It is hard to by online without feeling or trying the shoes (size and fit), so I gave it a try. I got size 9 and use the same size for running shoes, fitted me well. Two straps easy to adjust, very good looking and so far in this cold weather (40-60) has performed well. Did feel cold toes in my first 10 minutes rides, but after I warm up seems to be ok. I am currently riding 40 - 70 miles on weekends only. Many riders gave compliments. I liked straps better that the boa tights since I am not very careful with my gear and these are minimalistic. Recommended.

Once you've dialed-in what your shoe size actually is, you'll be hard-pressed to wear anything else. I had to go a few rounds with this because the sizing did NOT match that of my Giro's (I wear a 45 with Giro, but a 44 with these) but the Fiziks are evidently engineered to be a glove-fit. I tried the 43.5 and they fit TOO well - literally such a close fit that I couldn’t wear socks. But, now that I found the right fit, my Giro Savix have found themselves having to compete heavily for ride time lol; which may get worse once I nab the fiziks in black :).All in all, good buy.

Nothing to dislike, great fitting easy to get in and out and for me great looking shoe

Bought a pair of R5 Boa last year and I returned them because of the extremely narrow fit. I love Fizik but that particular model was not comfortable. In comes the R5 Tempo..... In one word. What an amazing comfortable sleek shoe!!!!! I'm sold on these and I love the Velcro. I love Boa as well but these look and feel sooooo smooth. Bonus. The price was great for the shoe.

I was deciding between a Boa lacing system or a strap system.Boa you can fine tune the pressure but over time the wiring system wears and starts to feel uncomfortable.I decided for the pressure straps.It isn't as tight as the boa system but it offers a tad more movement so no discomfort .The shoe itself is semi stiff and the pressure point for me is perfect.Road them for about 200km and starting to break in.Only slight negative is the toe box is smaller than my other shoes.

Ojo, esta marca ds un poco más amplia, pedir 1/2 numero abajo. Uso 45 en pearl inzumi, aquí pedí 44 1/2

Great value bike shoes, pound for pound the best I have owned. Very comfortable, even on longer rides and so far have not caused any overheating, even in summer.Straps are easy to adjust and do not loosen or move during riding. The materials and finishes used are very robust for this price point.Looks-wise, I think they are a great design and look very appealing. I chose the white and although they are difficult to keep immaculate, I don’t regret my choice. In fact, I find myself taking better care of these shoes *because* they are white.I already own a pair of Fizik shoes costing almost 4 times more than these, but these are my go-to for everyday riding.
