New Fizik road shoes in sight

These days, during the UAE Tour and Vuelta a Andalucía, we have seen several cyclists from the Movistar Team wearing Fizik shoes that do not match any of the current models in their catalog, which could indicate that the brand is preparing to add new features to its road offering.

Fizik combines the characteristics of its two flagship road shoe models into a new model

The Fizik shoes that we have seen on the feet of cyclists like Fernando Gaviria, Einer Rubio, or Enric Mas suggest that Fizik could be thinking of launching a new shoe model that combines the technologies and design of its two top-of-the-line road shoe models.

On one hand, we have the Vento Stabilita, with its unique sole design where the arch part is cut out on one side to introduce a band, similar to the one used in the Vento PowerStrap option with velcro closure and the Dynamic Arch Support system that offers extra support to the plantar arch with that band that starts at the base.

On the other hand, there are the Fizik Mechanism PNS, shoes with a more conventional cut and a tongue design instead of the double flap that many models currently use, which generally achieves a higher level of comfort and adaptation to a greater number of feet. A shoe with a double Boa closure arranged diagonally in parallel.

Well, the new shoes that the cyclists of the Movistar Team are wearing would have a design very similar to the Mechanism PNS and the same arrangement of the BOA closures, but they would also have the cut-out sole and the extra support to the plantar arch of the Vento Stabilita in a model that, in principle, should combine maximum comfort with pedaling efficiency. We will see if this translates into a new model or if it is only a specific adaptation to the requests of certain cyclists.
