Fizik Tempo Artica GTX Shoes – Winter Road Cycling Shoes

The Fizik Tempo Artica GTX shoes are road cycling shoes designed to withstand the toughest weather conditions. Fully waterproof, breathable and thermally insulated, they are the ideal solution for cycling through the winter, even in wet, bitterly cold and freezing conditions.

The upper features the advanced GORE-TEX Cirrus XTmembrane, which is free of PFAS and prevents water from penetrating while maintaining high breathability at the same time. This technology allows moisture produced by sweating to escape, helping to keep feet dry and warm even on the most demanding rides.

GORE-TEX: waterproofing and breathability

The GORE-TEX Cirrus XT insulating membrane provides reliable protection against rain and dampness. The PFAS-free technology is designed to ensure greater breathability and a reduced carbon footprint.

The microporous structure allows water vapor generated inside the shoe to escape while simultaneously preventing external water from penetrating. The result is a drier and more comfortable internal environment, ideal for long winter rides.

Fleece lining: maximum thermal comfort

To cope with low temperatures, the Fizik Tempo Artica GTX shoes are equipped with a brushed fleece lining, soft and insulating.

This lining creates a warm and comfortable layer around the foot, providing additional thermal insulation during winter rides, even when temperatures drop below zero.

Strap Closure + BOA: precise and secure

The closure system combines two elements to ensure stability and precise adjustment:

• Top Velcro Strap: wraps around the ankle, ensuring a secure and snug fit.

• BOA L6 Dial: located in the lower part of the shoe, it allows for precise and easy tension adjustment, even while pedaling.

This combination ensures a secure and responsive fit, promoting efficient power transfer to the pedals.

R5 nylon sole: efficiency and comfort

The R5 sole made from a nylon composite material offers a balance between stiffness and comfort, ensuring efficient pedaling even on long distances.

The stiffness rating of 6 ensures a good compromise between power transfer and comfort. The stud placement is slightly set back compared to traditional standards, a carefully designed solution to improve pedaling efficiency and reduce pressure on the knee.

Furthermore, the winter configuration eliminates the ventilation holes from the sole, helping to keep feet warm and dry.
