Fizik R5 Artica Winter Cycling Shoes When braving the colder seasons it’s vital to keep your feet toasty, that’s why the Fizik R5 Artica Cycling Shoes are an excellent option for those wanting all-round comfort, performance and warmth. Presenting an impermeable barrier against the coldest elements, the upper layer has been constructed from a fully waterproof Microtex shell that effectively protects against both wind and rain, whilst the inner membrane promotes airflow for superior breathability that actively wicks sweat away from the skin. Keeping you warm, this seamless construction utilises a thermal lining that creates warm insulating pockets whilst a waterproof zip ensures you’ve got good cover when the weather really takes a turn for the worst. What You Get with the Fizik R5 Artica Fully waterproof construction that actually breathes The advanced Gore-Tex membrane upper creates a completely waterproof outer shell while the breathable membrane maximizes airflow, preventing the swamp-foot syndrome common in other winter boots. Carbon composite outsole for maximum power transfer Unlike bulky winter boots that feel disconnected from your pedals, the carbon reinforced midsole delivers the same crisp power transfer you expect from standard Fizik shoes, just with winter protection. Multi-layer closure system for sealed warmth The internal speed lacing system works with a waterproof zip and Velcro lined ankle closure to create multiple barriers against wind and moisture. The storm zip ensures nothing gets through, while still allowing quick adjustments. Advanced insulation that works in real conditions Featuring advanced insulation properties including insulating aluminum foil underside in the winter edition cycling insole, plus cosy fleece upper lining. Reflective safety elements for short winter days Prominent heel reflectors and side visibility panels keep you seen during those early morning or evening rides when daylight is scarce. Generous fit designed for winter sock layering The shoe shape accommodates various foot shapes while leaving room for thicker socks without circulation issues, a critical detail other winter shoes often miss. Fizik R5 Artica Winter Road Shoe Offers Lightweight Performance Keeping the overall weight of these winter shoes to a minimum, the carbon injected sole presents optimal lateral stiffness for maximum power transfer and combined with the supportive Fizik Winter Edition Cycling Insole, you can be assured of long-lasting comfort whilst you forge through the cold. Accommodating three-bolt cleats, the underside cleat pattern leaves you with a choice to clip into an array of pedals. Who is the Fizik Artica R5 For? All weather cyclists needing year round warmth and dryness for consistent training. Competitive racers requiring race level power transfer during harsh winter base training. Commuters needing reliable, waterproof protection against rain, slush, and wet roads. Please note: These shoes, whilst using waterproof materials, will not keep all water out during downpours or when subjected to heavy road spray.
