Fizik renews its winter shoes with the Arctic GTX line
Wednesday 12 October 2022 at 5:20 pm
Fizik has launched two new winter shoes, the Tempo and the Terra Arcica GTX. Both shoes have been developed to keep out the cold and rain, using a waterproof GORE-TEX layer.
The shoe line is completely aimed at cycling in winter conditions with low temperatures and wet conditions. The inside of the shoes has a fleece lining, while the shoe is insulated with a waterproof GORE-TEX membrane.
In addition, the shoes are equipped with a so-called PU laminate; it is a composite fabric consisting of a woven fabric and a layer of polyurethane. In addition to breathability, this combination also offers some waterproof proportions. In fact, it’s sort of a GORE-TEX predecessor, but it works as a second layer to keep moisture out from the outside.

There are no ventilation holes in the bottom of the shoes to keep your feet warm and dry. Both models feature a two-piece closure: a BOA dial and a velcro strap to ensure a snug fit around the ankle.
The Tempo Artica GTX is a shoe to be used on the road bike. Featuring a nylon sole, the shoe isn’t the stiffest, but it offers extra comfort. The Terra Arcica GTX is the off-road shoe of the line and features a studded sole, which consists of nylon and a layer of rubber on the outside for extra grip.
The shoes are available from € 259.
