Fizik Tempo Decos Carbon Road Shoes – Black

Minimalist Performance | The Carbon Road Shoe for Your Greatest Challenges

The Fizik Tempo Decos Carbon is a high-performance road shoe designed for riders who demand a perfect blend of essential aesthetics and racing technology. Developed under the "less is more" concept, the Decos combines a clean upper design with a top-tier carbon outsole to offer rigidity, lightweight performance, and exceptional comfort for long distances and the most demanding climbs.

In-Depth Description

The Decos Carbon sits at the pinnacle of the Tempo family, dedicated to those who love to ride for hours without compromising on speed. The secret of this shoe lies in its ability to be extremely rigid under power while remaining almost imperceptible on the foot.

Upper: Ventilation and Support

Constructed from a resilient polyurethane laminated material over a comfortable mesh, the Decos upper is incredibly durable and easy to clean. This construction reduces pressure points and wraps the foot uniformly, ensuring consistent support throughout the entire pedal rotation.

R2 Outsole: Maximum Efficiency

The R2 Full Carbon Outsole represents the top of the Fizik range regarding weight-to-stiffness ratio. With a stiffness index of 10, this sole ensures that every watt produced is transferred directly to the drivetrain. It features a wide air intake and internal channeling for optimal thermal management even in peak summer heat.

Closure System: BOA® Li2

The Decos utilizes a single, latest-generation BOA® Li2 dial. This system is more compact, aerodynamic, and allows for bidirectional micro-adjustments: you can tighten or loosen the shoe with extreme precision even while pedaling, ensuring you always find the perfect fit.

Size Guide & Conversion Table

Fizik recommends measuring your foot in millimeters for absolute precision. If you have a particularly wide foot, consider sizing up by a half number.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Is the carbon sole too stiff for non-racers?

A: No. Although the index is 10, the shoe's ergonomics are designed for "Tempo" (endurance), meaning it is shaped to prevent hotspots or numbness even after 4-5 hours in the saddle.

Q: Are cleats included?

A: No, cleats are always provided with the pedals, not with the shoes.

Q: How do I clean the Black finish?

A: Simply use a damp cloth and mild soap. The laminated material is highly stain-resistant and does not absorb water.
