The uppers are where Fizik has really given us all a treat. They have added the BOA IP1 closure system to ensure that we can micro adjust the fit whether we are sitting in our mud room suiting up for a ride, or on the trails and needing to tighten up the shoe in anticipation of a breathless descent.

Since it does offer the special two way – that is to say tightening and loosening – closure option, you will still be able to dial in your fit or adjust it within seconds. And in case you want to have a firmer feel down by your toes, Fizik has added a hook and eye closure strap there. The material for the upper itself is the tried and true Microtex which has been laser perforated to provide the sort of ventilation you will need on hot days over the trails. It is scratch resistant as is the leather section around the toes and heel, so that if you do take the inevitable digger, you won’t be doing much damage to the tops.

Easy, attractive, and utilitarian, the Fizik M3B Uomo Shoes will keep you well shod over the course of the summer mountain bike riding and the cyclocross racing seasons.
