FAQs
What type of pedals are these shoes compatible with?
These shoes are designed for 3-bolt road cycling pedal systems, such as SPD-SL or Look Keo.
How do I clean my Fizik Tempo Cycling Shoes?
Wipe the shoes with a damp cloth. For tougher dirt, use mild soap and water, then air dry away from heat.
Is the Microtel upper material waterproof?
The Microtel upper is designed for durability and comfort. It offers some resistance to light moisture but is not fully waterproof.
What is the main benefit of the Overcurve design?
The Overcurve design is asymmetrical and ergonomically shaped to follow the natural anatomy of the foot, reducing pressure points and enhancing comfort.
Can these shoes be used for mountain biking?
No, these shoes are specifically engineered for road cycling and are not suitable for mountain biking due to the outsole design and cleat compatibility.
What makes the R5 outsole different from other Fizik outsoles?
The R5 nylon composite outsole offers a balance between rider comfort and pedaling efficiency, making it versatile for various road riding conditions. Higher-end models may feature carbon outsoles for increased stiffness.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight or causes pressure points.
Ensure the closure system is adjusted correctly. If pressure persists, consider if the size or shape is not ideal for your foot. The asymmetrical design aims to reduce this, but individual foot anatomy varies.
Difficulty engaging cleats with pedals.
Check that the cleats are clean and free of debris. Ensure the cleat mounting bolts are securely tightened. Verify that the shoe's cleat area is not obstructed.
Outsole feels too flexible during hard efforts.
The R5 nylon composite outsole is designed for comfort and balance. For maximum stiffness, a shoe with a carbon outsole might be more suitable.
