FizikMen's Modern Cycling Shoe, 1

Great winter bike shoes with enough insulation and full coverage all the way to the ankles. However, the size is ridiculously off. I have ordered a US 10 and this was what Amazon stated in the order description. What I have was US 8 1/4, which was way off from US 10...The product itself seems awesome, but I am unable to keep this due to the wrong size (I was laughing why people were furious about its size chart, but now I fully understood their frustration).At least, the return process was so easy (drop off at Whole Food Amazon return section), and refunds were done immediately. I expect Amazon should put more clear information on its size and ship the matching item at least (10 vs. 8 1/4, seriously??).

Fist I ordered the size 42 which amazon said was a size 11. I wear a size 11 in Adidas and Nike. My foot is on the narrow side. The 42s were very tight so I returned them and got 43.5. They fit like I think an 11 should fit but are still to tight for winter shoes. If you want to wear thicker socks then you need to go bigger. My feet aren't freezing anymore but they could be warmer if I had enough room to wear thicker socks with out it being so tight. Other than that I am very happy with them. My feet stay dry and are a lot warmer. If I ordered again, however, I would get at least a size 44.

These shoes are amazing. I'd been suffering through numb toes in my summer shoes (with double socks and shoe covers). No more! I'd compare the warmth and waterproofing to a ski or snowboard boot; on the coldest days, you'll still feel a chill, but they're definitely good at what they're made for.The five stars are for the shoes, not the buying experience. I ordered a men's 12 because, when I clicked on that size, it showed up as "Fizik X5 Artica 43 Shoe, Black (X5ARTIC18-1010-43)." I usually wear a 41 and figured I could work with a 43 because they were SUPER discounted (down to $67). I wasn't sure whether I'd get a 12 or a 43, but with free returns, I gave it a try. I was thrilled when 43s arrived, but if I really needed a men's 12 I would have been very disappointed.Sizing up allowed me to add an extra insole (any additional separation from the cleat is a good thing in my book!) and double up my socks (one very thin synthetic layer and one SmartWool layer). This system worked, and I'd still have room for toe warmers if I needed them. They're obviously too big compared to what would be ideal - if I wasn't discount hunting, my regular size (41) or one size up (42) would be perfect.Amazon sizing issues aside, huge shoutout to Fizik for making it possible for me to ride in the depths of winter!

They fit on-size, but it's tighter than I'd like when wearing thick winter socks. I should have gone half a size up.

I really, really wanted to like these boots. I thought they looked nice and seemed to well made.PROS:These ARE well made.CONS:But for whatever reason, when I went biking on a windy 43 degree day, my feet absolutely froze (I can't even explain how this possible) but they were colder than my specialized mountain bike shoes. I don't know if it is because of the zipper construction, but regardless, I was COLD.Second, I tried to correct the problem on my second ride with a thick wool sock. Well, after struggling for some time to get my foot in the boot, I could not get the zipper closed. And this brings me to the biggest problem with this shoe. The zipper. There is ZERO room for adjustability. None. Zilch. And it something I wish I had considered before I have purchased.

Road with these shoes in low 40’s upper 30’s and my feet stayed warm. Did get cold below 30 but there’s enough space between the inner and outer boot to throw in a hand warmer

The zipper came undone and was difficult to fix.

Really nice winter shoe. My normal loop from the house in the woods has several small stream crossings and there's nothing worse than cold/wet feet. I've been using waterproof socks for a bit with my standard SIDI mtb shoes, but my feet still get cold when the shoes get soaked. With these new shoes, NO WET FEET, no cold feet, no shoes that need to be dried out every ride. The soles are really sturdy and have great grip, too. I had a little irritation on shin at the top of one shoe related to the zipper but managed to correct the situation.They seem to run about a half size bigger than normal, but that will help with thick comfy socks.Would recommend.

Have now used these down to freezing temperatures and in the torrential rain. They are expensive but super value given the fact they are warm and water proof. I am a leisure cyclist and don't normally spend this much on cycling stuff but these were a great buy. Highly recommended. Just ensure you get the right size.

The media could not be loaded.  Inizialmente ero un pò scettico, in quanto alcune recensioni riportavano di problemi dei lacci e della cerniera. Bene innanzitutto dopo attente valutazioni ho provveduto all'acquisto, normalmente calzo il 42 ma avendo un pò di pianta larga ho acquistato il 43 e bene ho fatto. La scarpa si presenta molto bella esteticamente, facile da pulire ma sopratutto molto confortevole, infatti il 43 è stata la scelta azzeccata che con una calza invernale si adatta perfettamente al piede. Al momento la prima uscita è stata fatta con temperatura tra 8 e 11 gradi con vento teso Nord-Est 🥶 i piedi erano perfettamente protetti al vento e allo stesso freddo( soffro i piedi freddi nella vita 🤣) con queste scarpe finalmente ho risolto il mio problema. Ovvio che troverete i piedi sudati al rientro ma sinceramente poco mi importa.P.S. Aderiscono bene su suolo sterrato e sabbioso e comode nel fare tratti a piedi. MAI SCELTA FU COSÌ AZZECCATA sono contentissimo CONSIGLIATE.

rispondono perfettamente alle aspettative

Comoda,usata con 8 gradi non ho avuto freddo.

Quando stavo calando la scarpa e chiudendo il laccio, mi è rimasto in mano..Era la prima volta che la mettevo ai piedi.. Può succedere ma credo che questo tipo di allacciatura non è idonea a questa scarpa.
