Fizik Vega Carbon
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
Most comfortable cycling shoes I’ve ever worn. While I understand comments about the shoes being hard to put on, once you figure out how best to do it (1-2 rides) this problem disappears. More importantly, once they are on, they are super comfortable. The lack of any seams around the top of your feet bc of the neoprene sleeve makes the shoes super comfortable. They are noticeably lighter weight than my Shimano S-phyre 903’s and are better ventilated as well. Also, the Shimano’s are so narrow that I needed to order the wide version to be comfortable in them. These are true to size, great looking, and well made. My one gripe: I needed to swap out the insoles due to the misplaced lump under the middle of my foot. To be fair, other manufacturers’ shoes are also made this way. Simple enough fix. Worth a try for sure.

Difficult to put on
- Familiarity:
- I returned this product before using it
I have been wearing Fizik shoes for years and was excited to try the new Vega shoe. I have to say that they are beautiful but I did not realize or expect the shoe with two boa mechanisms to not have any opening along the top of the foot. You have to squeeze your entire foot into a very tight neoprene opening without any heel tab to pull up to help guide it. I have other neoprene shoes from Northwave but they give you tabs at the front and back of the opening to help. I think it would drive me crazy to continually have to fight both shoes to get them on and off. Bad design in my opinion. I am returning them and may try some Sidis instead. Sorry.

The new shape of this shoe from fizik fits better than anything i've tried. it's not fully wide like a bont but its a much more natural shape. stoked to find my new favorite road shoe!
