Fizik Road Tempo Overcurve R4 Wide Black/Black

A perfect wide-foot cycling shoe with laminated PU upper over mesh, BOA® IP1-B dial closure, R4 outsole, and a wider fit.

The all-around road cycling shoe is designed to be equally comfortable on weekend group rides, daily training, and stretching at a granfondo.

The classic aesthetic of the Overcurve R4 belies an advanced construction technique: a resilient polyurethane laminate material is combined on a comfortable mesh, reducing energy loss and providing long-lasting foot support where it is needed most. Designed with a high-performance fit for cyclists with wider feet, Overcurve R4 Wide offers a higher volume fit with more forefoot space around the ball of the foot and metatarsals.

OVERCURVE

The shoe closure is fast, reliable and secure, powered by a micro-adjustable BOA® IP1 dial in an Overcurve pattern. The construction of the Overcurve shoe features an offset collar that wraps around the ankle, tracing the natural alignment of the two bony protrusions of the ankle: the lateral and medial malleoli. The result is an asymmetrical shape, with the throat of the shoe curving over the foot from the outside in.

R4 SOLE

The moderately stiff R4 sole strikes a balance between comfort and pedaling efficiency to make it a true all-rounder, featuring a structurally optimized lower profile with a 15% carbon fiber infused composition. The R4 sole also provides efficient ventilation with internal channeling for effective temperature regulation. The cleat is positioned slightly more toward the heel than traditional positioning to optimize pedaling efficiency and reduce knee compression, particularly suitable for aerodynamic forward riding positions.

ROAD BIKES

"The pressure distribution in the shoe fizik is completely convincing, as is the fit and ventilation. The padding: okay, but not super comfortable-the right thing for riders who also like a stiff sole."
