Tempo powerstrap R5 is a versatile road cycling shoe with an innovative Velcro closure designed for an enveloping fit. While most Velcro closures simply pull together two sides of the shoes 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 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 pedaling efficiency.
