Ordered these shoes in a size 42 / same as my Magic shoes and Shimano shoes. The Fizik shows turned to be substantially larger but WBW was very helpful in exchanging for a smaller size.
The shoes seem well constructed, and I like the fit. My only criticism is that the footbed is thin (I have my own anyway) and the sole is not as stiff as my other shoes (admittedly carbon fiber). My first Boa shoes; love how they distribute tightness - two Boa closures must be amazing!
I had the R1 on my road bike and bought the R3 for my gravel bike. Used it on my ride across NY,390 miles. It was comfortable the entire ride. This was a "B" grade purchase, not sure if that is the right terminology. The discount was super. It appeared to be new. No scratches or any indication it had be used. The price was great.
This is my first pair of three-bolt road shoes and I'm very glad that after vast research I've made the right decision. Overall, great price for what they offer and most importantly they fit very well for my slighter wider feet. It's surprising that with just one BOA closure system it doesn't create any hot spots for me. I wear US 9.5, bought these in EU 42.5 based on their size chart and they fit perfectly. Ventilation is fairly good as I've ridden these in 80F for about 3 hours and still feel comfortable. Not the stiffest cycling shoes I've owned but decent. For reference I've owned couple pairs of Pearl Izumi and Giro two-bolt CX/XC-oriented shoes in the past 10 years or so, and always felt the toe boxes from both brands were tight and barely acceptable for me. Now I am looking for Fizik's off-road offerings, and perhaps get a second pair of these Tempo Overcurve R4 Wide in White, if Western stocks them.
It is a very good fit for my feet. I love having BOA adjustment though having 2 would be even better. I got a good price here at $135. Two complaints - the insole is extremely thin so count on retrofitting something. If you unclip by accident, the foot can slip on the pedal when trying to click back in due to the slick bottom surface of the shoe. I had read about this going in. It's not a deal breaker as you can get used to it and become more skilled at avoiding it. I do love the look of these Fizik and even wish I had gone for the edgier look of Green/Orange. My green ones are still nice.
