There is a design fault with these shoes. The stiff synthetic tongue finishes too high and cuts into the front of your ankle. I was limping after my first ride after wearing these shoes. Very disappointed.

Fizik Tempo Decos Carbon Road Cycling Shoes
Developed to perfectly blend comfort and performance, the Fizik Tempo Decos Carbon Road Cycling Shoes are versatile enough for racing, training and big days on the bike. The style is minimalistic and smart, with a single bi-directional BOA dial for fine-tuning the fit and making micro-adjustments mid-ride.
The outsole is as stiff as Fizik makes them, constructed from unidirectional carbon, maximising pedalling efficiency and ensuring all your watts are transferred through the pedals. There's a wide vent inlet and deep internal channelling to create good airflow over the feet, keeping you cool through hard efforts.
Pedal Compatibility

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.

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.
