Nothing wrong with the shoes. They look great and love the design and they look like they work brilliantly but these winter boots are super narrow. I went up two sizes and bought 2 pairs but still too tight. It’s a shame as I really wanted these to work. Fizik should make wider fitting shoes as I’m sure they would pick up a lot more customers.

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
Fantastic… these have got me through the last month of rain, puddles and wet roads with warm dry feet. Went half a size up so room for winter socks. If you’re a Zwift denier and still struggling with overshoes, invest in these, worth every penny. Went for white as I’m a bit of a show pony, they clean up surprisingly well.

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.
