The Fizik Tempo Powerstrap R5 is a versatile road cycling shoe with a foot-wrapping Velcro closure that provides an enveloping fit and an R5 outsole that delivers a balance between comfort and pedaling efficiency. While most Velcro closures simply pull together two sides of the shoe’s upper, in this configuration a ribbon wraps around the foot, enabling ultimate comfort and containment using just two straps. In this way, the system replicates the principle of Fizik’s Volume Control: the instep and the midfoot are separately adjustable areas that provide a fully customized fit and compression. The R5 Nylon composite outsole is supple and comfortable even in the long haul but without compromising pedalling efficiency.
