Fizik Vento Omna Road Cycling Shoes Review - feat. BOA Li2 Dial + Nylon Sole + Ventilated Upper

While Fizik is best known for their high-end carbon fiber shoes, they also offer more accessible performance options. The new Fizik Vento Omna are their latest budget friendly shoes and combine pro-level features at an accessible price point. With a retail price of $ the Fizik Vento Omna shoes feature a R5 Nylon Outsole with a single BOA Li2 Dial closure system. The shoe has a premium appearance with a perforated high-density PU upper and attractive metallic-like finishes that make the shoes look much more expensive than they really are. Designed for road cycling, the Vento Omna shoes have standard 3-bolt compatibility for Shimano SPD-SL or LOOK Keo pedals with built-in vents for ventilation.

It is surprising to see a single BOA Li2 dial instead of one of BOA’s lower-cost dial models that are common on single dial shoes like the DMT KR3 or the Shimano RC3. The BOA Li2 dial offers both micro tightening and loosening which is perfect for small adjustments while riding. With the single dial, the lacing extends along the full length of the tongue with textile loops instead of hard plastic loops. ...
