Your cart is empty.Overcurve R4’s classic aesthetic belies an advanced construction technique. A resilient polyurethane laminated material is combined over a comfortable mesh, resulting in reduced yield and providing long lasting foot support where it’s required. The closure is fast and secure, powered by a microadjustable BOA IP1 dial in an Overcurve pattern. Overcurve is a shoe construction featuring a staggered collar that wraps around the ankle, tracing the natural misalignment of the ankle’s two bony protrusions: the lateral and medial malleoli. The result is an asymmetrical shape, with the throat of the shoe curving over the foot from its outside to its inner side. The new, moderately stiff, R4 outsole strikes a balance between comfort and pedalling efficiency to make it a true all-rounder. R4 has a new, even lower profile, and is structurally optimized with a composition that includes 15% infused carbon fiber. The R4 outsole provides efficient ventilation and internal channelling for temperature management. The cleat positioning is slightly further rear-wards compared to traditional settings, to optimize pedalling efficiency and reduce knee compression, especially well suited to very aggressive, forward aero positions.

I was looking for a new pair of triathlon biking shoes and these had a reasonable review with a good price point. I wear a size 10 and these did not come in a 10 instead it was said to be a 10- 1/4. My toe is constantly hitting the end of the shoe even though my heel is slipping around. The "POWERSTRAP" is pretty flimsy and I can't get them to tightened enough to feel secure and comfortable, even with an extra insole in the shoe. Unfortunately, by the time I got my speedplays installed on the shoe and got out for a ride I was outside the return window, but I probably wouldn't return them anyway since I had to actually ride with them to determine they don't work for me.

I bought these to replace a pair of 17 year old Specialized shoes that I loved, but served as a Zwift and colder weather shoe. I recently bought the Fizik R1 Infinito for the road. I paid $278 for them and I have to say these are actually more comfortable. I did buy a .5 EU size larger because I wanted to wear thicker socks durig the colder days outside. The sole on these are not as stiff as the R1 but unless you are a pro sprinter they should be fine. The upper is softer than the R1 and toe box seems to be bigger offering more comfort. I did put the body geomerty Specialized inner soles in these that made them even more comfortable, but that is due to the years of using them and they are molded to my foot. I wear US size 10.5 and have to wear very thin socks with the R1 size 43.5 and with these I bought 44 and can wear thicker socks.

Good quality shoes with a reasonable price. It worth mentioning that my regular shoes size (for example, adidas running shoes) is 44 EU, and I've ordered fizik cycling shose 44 EU as well, initially thought that I've ordered a wrong size and I should go for 44.5 size. However, 44 EU was great choice and it fits perfectly. Another note might help in size selection, my size in Shimano is 45 EU (285 mm), however it's 44 EU (283.5 mm) in Fizik.Wish this is helpful for size selection

First ride today, need to adjust the cleat position of course, but pretty good right off the bat. My arches hurt a little, but my toes had plenty of room. No numbness in the toes.Nice materials, great look. Made in Cambodia.The “shoelace” wire is really thin, idk how long term it will hold up but it seems like a weak link. But maybe it’ll be fine? Looks like a lot of high end shoes use something similar.Just a thought on sizing: I wear a 9 1/2 American usually, and a 9 in a Converse All Star. But in cycling shoes I have to size up. My last shoes were Shimano in a 43 and my big toes were cramped. For these I went with a 44 and they feel good. But according to the chart that’s much larger than a 9 1/2. So, you just need to know your feet and don’t go by the chart.

評価項目に暖かさがありますが、どう考えても暖かさを求める靴ではないと思います。耐久性は不明です。実店舗で試着したものの、気にいる色が完売だったのでこちらで購入しました。試着もしただけにフィット感はバッチリです。BOAの靴は初めてでしたが、脱ぎ履きしやすくて良いですね。難があるとすれば、主に使っているペダルがMKSのアーバンステップインAなのですが、相性が悪く、ソールの構造上、クリートが嵌まりません。引っ掛かりはしますが、固定できるほど奥に入らない感じです。シマノのspdペダルなら大丈夫そうです。

Quality, comfortable shoe. Overall very happy with my purchase. Only drawbacks: 1) I still have some "give" in the shoes, even with the velcro as tight as possible, particularly on the steepest grades. 2) The white toe area of the shoe will get dirty pretty quickly from constant contact with the pedal when trying to clip-in, but this should be expected with any white shoe. Overall, I would likely purchase again!

These shoes are a great value given the brand and worth the extra $40 or so over bargin brand shoes at $60. They are very light and stiff and the lace system works great for easy removal and tightening. I wear a 9.5 to 10 sport shoe US and got the 44, they fit perfect, very comfortable. Over all great deal at $115 US for a high quality cycle shoe.

Good Fit in a Size 13, Comfy and Stylish - I wear a size 13 (US) and have a very flat foot. These fit great and look good. Finding cycling gear in bigger sizes can be a real challenge as it seems most cycling gear is created for smaller, thin riders. I went to all three of my local stores and had a hard time finding a cycling shoe that fit at a good price. The Specialized MTB shoes were nice but way too narrow and long. Sidi shoes were amazing but were $300+. I found some Pearl Izumi touring shoes that fit but the sole was too flexible. Most shoes that are supposed to be a size 13 (US) were really more of a 12 / 12.5. I did some research on these and made the purchase. Great fit. I have room for some Superfeet blue insoles to add arch support and the velcro and BOA system provide a nice customization fit. The soles are stiff enough that I use them on my gravel / road bike but the SPD cleats are very walkable and work well in dirt.

Very comfortable road shoes with easy to use fastening system. Clean look with true to life colors. The carbon reinforced sole is very stiff and give a smooth transfer of power into the pedals. The shoes are very easy to put on, adjust and take off. Granted, these are my first road shoes, but I love the fastening system. The one hook-and-loop strap on the toe doesn't seem to add much, but the BOA system is wonderful. I took these with me to my local bike shop when my new bike was delivered to make sure the pedals were adjusted properly, and the bike tech ooh'd and ahh'd over them saying they were very similar to his Louis Garneau shoes, but seemed better constructed with more padding. So far, I only have about 25 miles in them, but no hint of sores, blisters, hot spots, pinch spots or any other problem. Looking forward to many, many more miles in these!
