Uncomfortable - Cycling

These shoes have great build quality, but the shape of the sole is terribly uncomfortable. The toe box is very upside down which hurts my feet and feels very unnatural when riding.

Pros
  • Quality Construction
Cons
  • Safety

Packaging was smaller than expected

Nice shoes. This rating is more for the provider. This was sold as new. The shoes look new but the package I received was missing the original box.

Pros
  • Ideal for a small home
Cons
  • Interchangeable

Warning - does not endorse third parties

I had a similar experience with another user of this shoe. In less than a year, the toe area was deformed and the hard material pressed into the toes. The result is blisters and bruises on the bones. Fizik will not refund or exchange shoes as the shoes were purchased from a third party (not Revain, LOVE Revain). Fizik expects a third party to ship the shoes from California to the UK for inspection. It's impossible to imagine the carbon footprint or the absurdity of sending shoes back to the UKโ€ฆ

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • Quality

BOA system broke while cycling

I bought these shoes about half a year ago and I really like them. However, on a recent ride, the BOA buckle broke. I'm not sure where or when. Only at one point did I have trouble locking it in place and when I looked down I saw that the boa constrictor's handle had been knocked out of its socket. I tried contacting support to see if I could get a warranty on it or even repair it at face value. I received a confirmation email from Fizik saying they received my request but have not received aโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Nice to use
Cons
  • Very expensive

Great price better than Sidi Dominators

I've worn Sidi Dominators for years and am tired of paying $250 for shoes that don't last. I bought these shoes as a test run and after many months of hard riding and lots of sweat they feel like new. I'm a big sweater and my shoes get soaked with moisture (i.e. drip) after every summer ride, the sole on the Sidi eventually came off the shoe, but no sign of it from the physicists so far. stiffer sole and slightly lighter than Sidis which is what I wanted. I also like the single BOA closure, itโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Very good price
Cons
  • Easy repairability
