Ок, I'm from Russia and my English isn't a good part of my life. First, I got what I really wanted: mid price, low weight, narrow fit, white color. Second, the parcel came to Sochi faster than any other from wiggle/crc. I feel that shoes are not super stiff but it's more proper than my first shimano spd-sl that rode more 30K. First ride with fizik I felt shoes too tight but today they are good even with custom insole. Size is correct with my foot calculation and fully match with size chart on the website. 271mm - length, 103mm - width, high profile, so I bought 42,5 EU. This model is really for narrow or mid-narrow foot. Also it seems they have to be well-ventilated on a road in hot condition even they don't have sole ventilation. But I have no illusions about its long life, they are not so robust and as my first shimano that I left for emergency cases. And of course boa can make a problem in long perspective so it's a best way to have additional boa in reserve. Thanks.

Sizing note: Fizik shoes are built with a performance fit: true to size in length but with a narrow, low-volume toe box. Do not size up — it won't solve a width issue. If you have a wider or higher-volume foot, choose the Wide Fit version. If you're unsure whether Fizik suits your foot shape, check our size and fit guide before ordering.
Accurate sizing guidance can be gained by measuring the length of your feet from the back of the heels to the tip of the big toe. This measurement corresponds to the "Foot Length" column in our size chart.
Reviews
I bought these shoes a month ago after getting into cycling. Perfect first pair of shoes for someone transitioning to clipless pedals and great value for money. Would definitely recommend :)

About Fizik
Where the rider meets the bike.
Fizik was founded in Northern Italy with the conviction that the three points of contact between rider and bike — saddle, shoes, handlebar tape — deserve the same engineering focus as the bike itself. Every product is engineered around the rider's body to make the long ride feel shorter.
Fizik's saddle range is organised around the Spine Concept — Bull, Chameleon, Snake — matching saddle shape to rider flexibility. The result is a comfort claim backed by anatomy rather than marketing.
