The fi’zi:k M5 BOA replaces the previous generations ratcheting buckle and loop straps for a BOA closure system.

I've been using these shoes for just over 2 years now, with the moldable insoles fitted. I was skeptical about the BOA system, but it has only given me trouble once, after a big off into a puddle of sludge at Red Barn. The dial became loose, and wouldn't ratchet, but after rinsing it out with my water bottle, everything was back to normal Really good shoe for wide feet at a very good price!

Replaced my previous specialized shoes with these as I was getting some nasty hot foot. Has defiantly helped with the hot foot, very comfy shoes that I would recommend. Only issue is that the toe box is not as protective as what I was used to with the specialized shoes, if you hit a rock you feel it a bit more.

Have this pair and the carbon soled version

 

Like a slipper

Love it

 

The Italians know how to make a cool looking, yet very practical and durable, skoen.

Have been riding in a pair of these since end of 2015. These are without doubt the most comfortable MTB shoes I have owned; they have proved durable and offer a great balance between power and flex. If I replace them, it will be with a similar pair without any doubt.
