New to wearing Fizik footwear but very impressed! The Vento Proxy Gravel Shoe is a nice snug fit and the single BOA tightening adjustment is more than satisfactory and provides all the support your foot requires. Very durable, as the shoes have now been used in all weathers and made from ideal upper materials. Even the bright pink and orange compo has made hearts flutter ... especially mine but I do have a cardiac condition!
Product Details
Fizik Vento Proxy Men's Gravel / Off Road Cycling Shoes
Engineered as a high-performance shoe for off-road racers, the Fizik Vento Proxy Gravel Shoes give you wickedly efficient power transfer and race-ready features that will see you leading the pack.
X3 Composite Outsole: The Vento Proxy Cycling Shoes revel in the heat of competition, whether it’s technical XC trails, unremitting efforts of gravel or lung-busting cross laps, the X3 composite outsole gives instant acceleration and efficient power application. The rubber tread provides grip on MTB pedals while also digging in when you have to jump off and run.
Low-weight, high performance: With racing a focus of the Proxy, Fizik has pursued minimal weight. They’re constructed using an innovative translucent PU laminated mesh. Not only does this meet the demands of all of us weight-weenies, it’s incredibly tough and tear-proof, made to take on the demands of rowdy trails.
Li2 BOA® Fit System: The Li2 BOA® Fit System gives you easy and precise adjustment of the fit. Using BOA® textile lace guides you get a balanced application of tension and eliminates pressure spots. Simply twist and go shred.
Speed Wins: Be it the intensity of a cyclocross hole shot, the tech-focused demands of modern XC mountain bike trails or mixing it up in a high-speed gravel pack, the Fizik Vento Proxy Gravel Shoes offer multi-discipline performance when you’re heading onto the rough stuff.
Pedal Compatibility
These off-road shoes are compatible with MTB-style pedal systems utilising the 2-bolt cleat system such as Shimano SPD, Look Trekking and X-Track, crank brothers Candy 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.

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.
