Hello, im new to cycling shoes, would love something good for rides combined with a bit of walking is this a good option? Could you please also advise compatible pedals - preferably hybrid ones when riding also with regular shoes? Smooth pedalling efficiency comes via Fizik’s redesigned X5 Outsole. This achieves a 5 out of 10 on their stiffness rating, giving excellent power transfer but with enough flex to take out some of the buzz from rougher roads and trails. It also allows for comfort off the bike too. The shoe is available in a wide range of sizes ranging from EU36 to 47, while also catering for half sizes from 38.5 to 46.5. This generous spread allows for a more precise fit - especially if you find yourself between sizes. With an emphasis on comfort the Terra Atlas is designed to be wider and more flexible than a traditional cycling shoe. Think more of a hiking trainer feel than the unyielding, close-fitting cycling shoe. To further ensure that you will find your fit, Fizik has a comprehensively huge range of sizes from 36 to 48 with half sizes offered between 37 and 46. Performance For these versatile shoes we developed a specific outsole, the X4: a carefully considered combination of stiffness and comfort, to turn pedals effectively on mixed surfaces; blending nylon - with targeted stiffness - and a rubber tread for effective grip and durability.

On the whole, the Terra Atlas gravel shoes were really great in many ways. They still have their limitations in certain areas, but as an entry level shoe that was always going to be the case - even the majority of top-end shoes don’t manage to hit everything off perfectly. Can I measure an inner insole of 44 euros? I have seen the table, but I am not sure what corresponds in fact More versatile than ever, Fizik has redesigned its X5 outsole for better grip and traction. Equipped with generous lugs and a rubber coating that covers the entire surface, including the midfoot, the X5 outsole provides secure grip when you need to push or even carry your bike on steep, rough trails.

More grip and traction

Fizik says it has balanced performance with comfort in the new Terra Atlas and has created a new, more generous fit when compared to the existing Terra X5. The Atlas offers long-lasting comfort and a more generous fit than previous models, as well as good ventilation, without sacrificing protection - this is ensured by the toe area reinforced by means of TPU overlay. The convenient single BOA closure lets you comfortably adjust the fit so you can enjoy the day no matter what.

A simple twist of the dial allows for precise adjustment and the tough slipstream plastic guides keep the Dial lace smooth running, allowing an even application of pressure across the foot. On the inside of the shoe, you will find a 100 per cent polyester lining. Padding in the shoe is kept to a minimum to give the best fit and reduce the chance of hot spots. The upper part of the opening has the most welcomed amount of padding that extends from the area at the top of the tongue and around the heel. At the top of the deep heel cup is a series of silicon dots to grip onto your foot to stop any heel lift. The insole measurement is correct as per the chart. The 44 in this brand and model will be very close to the stated 283.5mm. And to keep riders in control and prepared over ever-changing and always unexpected terrain, the fizik Terra series handlebar tape and off-road accessories for all-terrain riding provide just the right amount readiness, no matter the weather or what lies ahead.

The instep and the midfoot are separately adjustable for customized fit and compression.
