FizikVento Ferox Carbon Shoe(Return to Product Page)

Stiff sole and light, snug upper makes them great for riding hard. As such, there are not great if you need to hike a bike or walk outside of the saddle. I noticed the outsole rubber is soft and wears down easily. I'm lucky to have a second pair of shoes for days when I do more walking/hiking, so as long one can use these for what they are designed for, they're great! Wore them for a 11-hour ride yesterday and had no issues besides generic fatigue.

This shoe is very stiff, but the outsole is easy to walk in. I like the velcro strap and boa combination for getting a comfortable fit, but I worry about the long-term durability of the velcro, especially if it gets wet and muddy. These do seem to run more narrow than other Fizik shoes I own. I had to size up to get the width right leaving a bit more room in the toes than I'd prefer. They have been comfortable with no slippage on the bike, though.
