Description
Low Weight, High Performance
The Fizik Men's Vento Proxy X3 is a fast, breathable, off-road racing shoe designed to save weight without sacrificing durability or comfort, for those looking for a competitive edge and to keep their cool far off the beaten track.
Proxy is an off-road shoe with pure racing DNA that recalls Fizik's top-tier products. When performance is required on demanding XC tracks or in fast gravel races, this shoe is the solution. Proxy is well ventilated thanks to an innovative translucent PU laminated mesh that makes the shoe both lightweight and comfortable. The upper is durable thanks to its tearproof construction, protecting you from the pitfalls of rowdy riding on rough terrain.
The newly redesigned X3 fiber composite outsole offers more stiffness for efficient power transfer. The generous rubber tread delivers better grip on the pedals and improved traction for dismounted segments during CX races.
The closure pattern is minimal and supportive, using BOA® textile lace guides that balance tension and further eliminate pressure hot spots. Featuring a single incremental Li2 BOA® Fit System platform, cyclists can fine tune their fit, ensuring maximum performance without compromising on comfort.
Features:
- PU Laminated mesh upper
- Li2 BOA® Dial Fit System
- X3 fiber composite outsole - with rubber thread, stiffness index 8
- Weight: 326 g
- 2-Bolt cleat compatible

Reviews
I love Fizik shoes. I have 3 pair of Vento Stabilita, 2 pair of Vento Ferox Carbon, 1 pair Vento Powerstrap Aeroweave, 2 pair of Terra Powerstrap X4, 1 pair of Terra X5, 1 pair of Terra X3 and the new Aeroweave X. ALL of those shoes above are 43 and all fit identically. The Vento Proxy in 43 that I own has a TON of volume in the forefoot and the single Boa simply cannot close that up. Length and width are spot on to all my others. But the volume is simply too much. These were clearly built on a high volume last. Sizing down won't work IMO. I had to add a thick insole to make the shoes fit like all the others. Not ideal, but works ok. These shoes are the only pair of Fiziks I own that doesn't have the little rubber gripper dots in the heel which keeps the heel firmly planted in the shoe. I know that all sounds bad. But, they are built very well, have incredible ventilation, are reasonably light and if volume is what you need then they might very well be the ticket. Just be aware that if you have any of the other pair of Fiziks like I listed above, these will NOT fit the same.
