R5 UOMO BOA Road Cycling Shoes, Black/Dark Grey, Size

The materials of the upper have a very accomplished feel to them and they look very good and expensive. Also the boa locking system is and works great. On the other hand, what I don’t like of this particular model is the amount of flex to the sole even if they say its carbon reinforced. The sole has no breathing holes which makes them proned to heatspots even if they say they are formulated with that in mind. Another thing is that the positioning of the cleats is hard to perfect because it is almost impossible to see the lines and numbers on the sole. I personally am a little bit bummed because I would have prefered the R3s. I do not recommened these shoes for very hot climates. They do look pro though and well made. Would I purchase them again? Maybe not but Fizik always makes great quality products with a competitive price.

These things have taken a few rides totalling over 100 miles so far.Positives:Design and overall lookQuality constructionBoa system - way better than Velcro or laces. This is the biggest selling point for me.Adequate ventilationCons:I have narrow feet and these are great. If I had wide feet I think these would not feel good. Also the Velcro strap near the toe does nothing for security. The soles of my feet get sore after about 25 miles but perhaps an insole would solve that problem.Overall glad I purchased. These were my first road biking cleats after using tennis shoes for a few years.

These are wonderful shoes and I Love them BUT the second time I wore them I had to adjust the cleat and when I went to re-tighten the cleat, there was a “pop” and one of the three screws won’t tighten. Due to the weather I couldn’t ride in them earlier and of course, this happened 2 days after I could return them so I have had to put in a warranty claim with the manufacturer. I haven’t had this happen before with any other road shoes so i’m Hoping this is a freak ocurance.

These were my first pair of SPD SL compatible shoes, and they surpass my expectations, they are more comfortable than I could have imagined, fit Perfectly (Consistently wear 13US in all shoe types.. these were 47EU) they are light and the single BOA works flawlessly. Due to the temps at the moment I have been wearing 1 or 2 socks, in each case, the BOA cinches down perfectly. OH... and they look Great! One thing I to mention, I had to retighten the Cleat screws several times as the fasteners/cleats bed in. They are also easier to walk in than I expected.

After doing a lot of research I finally decided to go with the Fizik R5 UOMO. Being a weekend warrior I wanted good quality that didn't break the bank. Compared to my previous cycling shoes, these are super light weight, comfortable, and sleek! I like the measurement marks on the sole. Helps when making adjustments. The cable strap is easy to use when tightening and loosening. My only compliant would be the width of the shoe is a bit tight. It isn't a problem when riding for a few hours, but I can see a problem for anything more than that.Overall it is a great road bike shoe for the money!

The shoes fit true to size. However when attaching the cleats one of the screws would not tighten. The threads were stripped. A problem another purchaser apparently had with his or her purchase.

Did like the shoes, but didn't like paying new for shoes that had been used and returned. One shoe had scuffs on shoe itself and the side heel was scratched up. From the dirt on the bottom and in one of the tightners is was obvious someone returned used.

I am loving these! I really like the clean looking design. The red heel and toe pads on the underside really help keep me from sliding around when duck walking across smooth surfaces. I have narrower feet, so it is usually tough for me to find shoes that fit perfect... these do (without breaking the bank). I measured my foot length in cm and looked up the correct size directly on the Fizik website.

Very nice shoes - fit is true to size. Very comfy, had these a few months now and ridden several hundred miles in them with no problems at all

Very good quality cycling shoe but expensive but you get what you pay for I’ve had them for 3 years and still going strong also rode a few 100 miles rides in them and never let me down and the quick release saves time and look awesome

They're a nice shoe. I had to return the 42's and order a pair of 41.5 to replace my Specalized 42's.

Superb shoes, very comfortable with a great closing system. Excellent ventilation.

Excellent pair of cycling shoes. Fast delivery. Very happy with the product and service.
