I spent two months researching the best top end road cycling shoes. In the end it came down to two: Shimano S-Phyre or Fizik Infinito. Both rank and rate well in tests/reviews, with the S-Phyre seeming to edge ahead with sheer number of rave reviews However, in the end, I could not see a justification to spend an extra €100 on the S-Phyre. Just received the Fizik Infinito’s today and they look, feel and fit exceeded my high expectations. I am UK 10.5 so went with 45. Perfect fit immediately, like a slipper. And with just that wee bit of space required for when your feet get up to temperature! Love the silicone grippers at top of heal cup!!! Hold heal in place even as shoe is loosened! Can’t wait to take them in first test cycle

Fizik Vento Infinito Carbon 2 Road Cycling Shoes
With a meticulous design and the highest grade of materials, the Fizik Vento Infinito Carbon 2 Road Cycling Shoes grant performance to the most dedicated and demanding riders within any road riding scenario.
The upper of the shoe is conceived from a Microtex material that amalgamates strength and suppleness to donate support for efficient power transfer and comfort during the longest rides. This upper is partnered by the Volume Control System that utilises two Li2 BOA dials that fasten separately over the forefoot and the instep for an individual, tailored fit. The upper BOA dial neatly links into a dedicated section of the upper that wraps around the arch of the foot, increasing support to this area for more efficient pedalling.
Fizik Vento Infinito Carbon 2 Construction
A full carbon construction forms the R2 outsole, and this is tremendously stiff to ensure that every watt is transferred from the rider to the bike while still being lightweight. Vented and with integrated air channels, this sole keeps the feet cool. At the same time, a more rearwards-situated cleat mounting position helps raise pedalling efficiency further while reducing the strain on the knees.
Pedal Compatibility
These shoes are compatible with road pedal systems utilising the 3-bolt cleat system such as Shimano SPD SL, Look Keo/Blade, Time Atac etc...
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.

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.
