Product Information
Full details
The Fizik Tempo Powerstrap R5 road shoes are designed for dedicated cyclists seeking a high-performance, comfortable fit without the complexity of traditional dial systems. Utilizing an innovative wrap-around velcro closure, these shoes provide exceptional foot compression and a highly customizable fit across the instep and midfoot. While they excel in long-distance comfort, users should note that the nylon composite sole, while supportive, is slightly more flexible than professional-grade full carbon options.

FAQs
Are these shoes compatible with SPD-SL cleats?
Yes, the Fizik Tempo Powerstrap R5 shoes feature a standard 3-bolt road cleat pattern, making them compatible with Shimano SPD-SL, Look Keo, and other similar road systems.
Can I use these for indoor cycling?
Absolutely. Their breathable design and secure fit make them an excellent choice for high-intensity indoor trainer sessions.
How should I clean the upper material?
Use a soft sponge with mild soap and lukewarm water. Avoid using harsh chemicals or laundry machines, as these can degrade the material and adhesive.
Do these shoes run true to size?
Fizik shoes generally follow standard European sizing conventions. We recommend using a centimeter-based measurement of your foot to ensure the best fit.
What is the stiffness rating of the sole?
The carbon-reinforced nylon sole is designed for a balance of efficiency and comfort, providing a mid-range stiffness ideal for endurance and club cycling.
Troubleshooting
Straps are losing their grip
Clean the velcro hooks with a small brush or a needle to remove lint, dust, and road debris.
Foot numbness during rides
Loosen the Powerstraps slightly to improve circulation and ensure your cleat position is not too far forward.
Cleats slipping on the sole
Check that the cleat bolts are tightened to the manufacturer's torque specifications and ensure the cleat base is clean.
Pros and Cons

- High-quality, durable nylon construction

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For optimal performance, ensure your cleats are aligned with the three-bolt pattern on the outsole. When installing cleats, use a light grease on the bolts to prevent seizing. To achieve the perfect fit, start by loosening the straps completely, slide your foot in, and tighten the midfoot strap first to secure the arch, followed by the instep strap to lock the heel in place. To care for your shoes, wipe them down with a damp cloth after wet rides. If they become soaked, remove the insoles and let them air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, which can damage the nylon composite materials.
