Product Information

Full details

The Fizik Tempo Decos Cycling Shoes are designed for adult, unisex riders seeking a balance of comfort and performance for long rides, granfondos, and general road cycling. Their key benefit is a minimalist, single BOA fit system combined with a stiff carbon sole for efficient power transfer, all while offering supportive comfort. A potential consideration is that the cleat positioning is set slightly further back than traditional, which may require adjustment for some riders.

FAQs

What type of riding are the Fizik Tempo Decos best suited for?

They are ideal for versatile road cycling, including long-distance rides, granfondos, endurance events, and general road riding where comfort and performance are prioritized.

How do I adjust the fit of the shoes while riding?

The single BOA Li2 dial allows for quick micro-adjustments. Turn the dial clockwise to tighten and pull the dial outwards to loosen. This can be done easily on the go.

What is the stiffness index of the R2 outsole?

The R2 outsole has a stiffness index rating of 10, which is the highest in the Fizik range, indicating excellent power transfer.

Are these shoes suitable for racing?

While they offer high performance and a stiff sole, they are designed for riders outside the demanding pro peloton, emphasizing comfort for longer distances. They can certainly be used for amateur racing or challenging events.

What is the weight of a single shoe?

The weight is approximately 228g for a size 42 shoe.

Can I use these shoes with all types of cycling pedals?

These shoes are designed for 3-bolt road cycling cleat systems. Ensure your pedals are compatible with this standard.

How do I clean the shoes?

Clean the exterior with a soft, damp cloth and the interior with a damp cloth. Allow them to air dry completely. Avoid machine washing or using harsh chemicals.

Troubleshooting

BOA dial is difficult to turn or won't tighten/loosen

Check for any debris caught in the dial mechanism or lace channels. Gently clean with a soft brush. Ensure the lace is not frayed or damaged.

Shoes feel uncomfortable after initial use

Ensure the BOA system is adjusted correctly for a snug but not overly tight fit. Verify cleat position for optimal pedaling alignment. Consider using after-market insoles if preferred.

Feet feel too hot during rides

Ensure the vents are not obstructed. Ride with socks that offer good moisture-wicking properties. Check that the BOA system is not overtightened, which can restrict airflow.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure your cycling insoles are correctly positioned within the shoes.
  2. Install your cycling cleats onto the outsole's cleat mount. Most road cycling cleats (e.g., SPD-SL, Look Keo) are compatible with the 3-bolt cleat pattern.
  3. Attach the shoes to your bike pedals, ensuring proper engagement.
  4. Use the BOA Li2 dial to tighten the upper for a snug, comfortable fit. Turn the dial clockwise to tighten and pull the dial outwards to loosen.

  • Cleats: Designed for standard road cycling cleats.

Care:

  • Clean the exterior of the shoes with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • Wipe the interior with a damp cloth to remove sweat and dirt. Allow to air dry completely.
  • Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
  • Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
