Review on 🚴 Fizik Unisex-Adult Cycling Platform Shoe by Joshua Coulter

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Phenomenal on shoes

First impression, very satisfied 170 pounds; 6 feet high; slim physique; Amateur. Difficult foot landing - low arch and a condition similar to bursitis. One leg seems longer and wider than the other. I've been wearing Sidi for a long time. Very durable and beautiful - unbeatable. My last pair was Sidi Push. king of chic; I smiled every time I put them on. And you can toss them in the washing machine over and over again and they come out almost brand new. But the fit isn't the best; Comfort is sufficient, but not hand in hand. I will miss her. I'm a big fan of the Fizik Aliante saddle. When I first sat on the weight distribution was so perfect I almost didn't feel the saddle - which is great for something as stiff as a road bike saddle. So when I read about the fit of the R1 I decided to give it a try. Well, the R1 Infinito isn't as fun to look at as the Sidi, but they're still beautiful and very well made. Elegant, simple and discreet. I'm a little nervous about the thinness of the Boa cables; I wonder how long they will last. But the clasp is just awesome. I can spin anything I want on the boa with no hot spots and no gaps in my mismatched legs. The shoes just fit perfectly. This is truly a phenomenal design. If you like Brooks running shoes or Ecco street shoes, you'll love these. Almost all other shoes I own, especially Sidi, require insoles to fit. But not my Brooks, not my Ekko, and now not my physicist either. They felt great when I put them on and rolled them up. So if you value convenience in everything, give them a try. I think you will be happy.
