The Fizik Tempo Artica R5 GTX Winter Boot Road Shoes are engineered to meet the rigorous demands of cold-weather cycling, delivering exceptional warmth, waterproof protection, and comfort. Featuring the advanced GORE-TEX Insulated Koala membrane, these shoes offer reliable waterproofing while allowing effective breathability, ensuring your feet remain dry from external moisture and internal perspiration. The soft fleeced lining adds an extra layer of insulation, making these shoes a dependable choice for cyclists facing harsh winter conditions.

Constructed with a high-density PU-laminated upper combined with durable ripstop fabric, the Tempo Artica GTX balances resilience with lightweight insulation. The inclusion of a Velcro strap alongside a single L6 BOA® dial enables precise micro-fit adjustments, which are easily managed even when wearing bulky winter gloves. The redesigned R5 nylon outsole, boasting a stiffness index of 6, optimises pedalling efficiency while maintaining comfort. Its cleat positioning is thoughtfully designed to reduce knee strain, and the absence of vented holes in the outsole preserves warmth and dryness in cold environments. These features make the Tempo Artica R5 GTX an excellent addition to any cyclist’s winter gear.
