Fizik Tempo Decos Wide Road Cycling Shoes with BOA Fit System and Carbon Sole

The Fizik Tempo Decos Wide Road Shoes are engineered to meet the demands of cyclists requiring a higher volume fit without compromising on performance or durability. These shoes combine a minimalist design with advanced technology, featuring a single BOA dial upper and a stiff full carbon sole that ensures exceptional power transfer and comfort over extended distances. Suitable for a broad range of riders, the Decos Wide offers a refined balance between responsiveness and endurance, making it an excellent choice for those who prioritise both comfort and efficiency on the road.

Crafted with precision beyond the professional peloton’s stringent requirements, the Decos Wide embodies Fizik’s signature minimalist style while addressing the practical needs of everyday road cyclists. The upper is constructed from a polyurethane-laminated mesh, providing enhanced breathability and durability where it matters most. The single bi-directional Li2 BOA® dial facilitates quick and precise fit adjustments, ensuring a secure and customised fit for every ride. This model is available in multiple sizes and configurations, accommodating a wide spectrum of rider preferences.

At the heart of the shoe lies the R2 Wide full carbon outsole, which utilises a unidirectional carbon fibre layup with a stiffness index of 10—the highest in Fizik’s range. This design delivers superior power transfer and responsiveness, essential for efficient pedalling. Additionally, the sole incorporates a wide vent inlet and deep internal channels to optimise airflow and temperature regulation, maintaining foot comfort during long and intense rides. The cleat positioning is slightly set back to enhance pedalling efficiency and reduce knee strain, particularly beneficial for riders adopting aggressive aero positions.
