FizikR5 Artica Tempo GTX Road Shoe(Return to Product Page)

They look great, fit is snug but comfortable, and I was hoping they'd work out but my toes got frigid when about 30F. These will not save you on a typical bone chilling midwestern winter ride, but I will try them again with toe warmers.

Bought these in an attempt to keep riding in Northern cold temps. Huge improvement from current road shoes worn with thick or two pair of socks. For longer rides 2+ hours these were good to about 50 degrees under that added toe covers. One it starts getting to 40 I add toe warmers. Rode this week for 3 hours with toe warmers and feet were perfect. Yes I would buy these again as it makes riding in the cold outdoors much easier.

After wearing booties for years and constantly having trouble keeping my feet warm, I decided I needed a reliable winter shoe. These do not disappoint. The fleece lining really keeps your feet and toes nice and warm. The shoe fits snug, especially if you wear heavier socks. You may consider a half size larger than your normal road shoe. The BOA closure enables the shoe to fit your foot snuggly.

I wear an 11 tennis shoe, with this shoe i wear the same size as my regular road shoe, a 45. I have neither a narrow or wide foot. Right out of the box i put these on and did 1.5 hours on the trainer. Very comfortable shoe and no issues whatsoever. Shoe is just the right height, sorta between a high and low top shoe. Quality is good and looks also.

Really warm. With wool socks and toe heaters, I was comfortable at 30 degrees. So much easier than dealing with shoe covers. They do run narrow and both my wife and I had to return for a size up.

I rode over 2 hours and had no frozen feet when I finished my ride. high temperature was 45 degrees , little sun, the first real winter ride here in Colorado. The shoes are very comfortable and it was way less hassle then shoe covers. I wish i had had these in the mid 1980`s when all they had were the Sean Kelley`s Belgian booties. Quality product, worth the price if you are a year round rider like myself. Cheers, viva velo

Its comfortable and warm

I love these shoes for winter. Comfortable and warm for the cold winter rides. Below 45 degrees I still recommend toe covers or shoe covers. Good shoe, I'd buy them again.

My feet sweated in winter socks, it felt like 27'F!!!

Very good shoes.

My feet sweat in winter socks, it felt like 27'F!!!

Very good shoes.

Got these for the really cold days, below 40F. I previously rode with my Bontrager XXX Road Shoes with rain covers. It worked, I wasn't freezing, but I wasn't comfortable either. Switched to these and winter riding is now comfortable even in below freezing conditions.

Fit is good. I'm a 44.5 in Bontrager and it is the same here. Shoe is a bit more narrow, so if you have wide feet, this may not be for you.

I haven't used them long enough to comment on durability. I got them in white (have to match the helmet), so time will tell how the hold up to the winter roads. If they had a HiViz option, I may have opted for that instead considering the short dark days in the Northeast.

Had high hopes for these being a good winter rain boot for the wet Portland rides. Unfortunately all the water still seeps in through the neoprene ankle cuff and then the shoe turns into a pool of water.

They do keep the foot warm in the cold weather, but fall pretty short in the rain.
