Fizik shoes serve up a clean, yet bold aesthetic alongside that distinctive, punctuation-ridden logo. The X4 is a gravel shoe - not as stiff as a road shoe, but strong enough to pedal hard on hard-packed surfaces. A rubber/nylon sole with strategically placed tread patterns, a pair of X4's will cope with some walking, even the odd section of hike-a-bike. The two straps used to secure the shoe not only offer a secure, easily adjustable fit, but give the X4 a strong visual character too. It reminds us of an early 2000s Adidas Predator football boot, even or a pair of Copa Mundial's. Similarly, the asymmetric 'slices' in the shoe upper aren't just for style or function, again they're for both - each slit delivering welcome ventilation on warmer days. Overall, their styling means the shoes won't look out of place on a bridleway, B-road or bike lane.

I have been wearing MTB shoes for my E-gravel bike for 18 months and wanted a lighter pair for those days I spend more time in the bike than off and cycling at speed. I choose the Terra Power 4 strap and was initially concerned that my normal size of 43 may be too small. When the shoes arrived they felt snug but did not hurt me so contacted Fizik customer service who were very helpsful and suggested I try the terra Atlas, which I did but is was too small for my feet. I need to add that I have wide feet and a high instep. The power strap 4 are a better fit for me as I can adjust the size to accommodate my high instep. I have only used the shoes for 1 week on an indoor wahoo trainer and very happy with the results. I guess the real test will be on the road.

Awesome! Stiff, comfortable and secure. No issues with the strap closures, nice and secure and easy to use. Easy enough to adjust on the fly, but rarely the need as they confidently stay in place. Used for primarily gravel riding across 3 different bikes. A bit like a cross between a stiff road shoe and traditional grippy mountain bike clip in.Sizing is a bit generous in my experience - generally in streets I'm a US 8 or 41, and in these I'm wearing a 7.5/40 and they aren't too tight and have enough room for a slightly heavier sock when the temps drop a bit.Only issue is the slippery nature of the sole. I have some one-sided shimano spd pedals and the backside is super slippery with these shoes. I think this is on account of the stiff rubber and more minimal, ... MoreAwesome!

Not a deal breaker but has me rethinking my pedal choices, especially on the rougher gravel stuff, so something to consider maybe if you don't clip in on the first try often or don't have dual sided pedals.But overall very happy with these, and recommended.

I bought these as an ultra endurance shoe that I can walk in if needed. A huge factor for me with this is ensuring that there is plenty of room in the toe box with no pressure points on my toes. These are very good in this respect and more roomy than the wide fit shoes I was wearing previously. The two Velcro strap fitting works remarkably well and can readily be adjusted on the move. Snug and comfortable with no pressure points. I’ve yet to ride ultra type distances in them mind but they already feel better than any previous shoe I’ve worn. Reasonably light as well

Attractive, well made, sturdy shoes. Look very much like a sleek road shoe, which will appeal to those not wanting knobbly MTB shoes. Not fully waterproof but do a good job of keeping spray out, and are easy to wipe clean. Fit is narrow around the 5th metatarsal, and I also had to fit a more supportive insole. Otherwise comfortable enough for day-long use, stiff enough for enthusiastic riding, but still easy to walk in.
Solid shoes for gravel and day to day riding. Fit is pretty close to true to size, more so than shimano in my experience. I would go by the cm measure because sizes conversions between US and Euro seem to be quite arbitrary between the brands. As a general reference my streets are size 8 US and these Fiziks are labelled a 7.5 US. Breathable but not too much. Stiff but not too much. Comfy all around for me. Probably 25 000 kms on mine right now and they have very little wear, only a little rub on the toes. Bottoms in great shape, same with heel cup.Only gripe is the bottom of the sole close to the cleat - it can be quite slippery, in particular on the set of one sided shimano pedals I have. So if you don't clip right away or rest your foot before clipping they can ... MoreSolid shoes for gravel and day to day riding.

So if you don't clip right away or rest your foot before clipping they can cause you to slip right off. So something to be aware of. But not a deal, breaker. Less bad with two sided pedals. Still way better than the shimano XC3 i tried. Some outsole, but limited in terms of walkability. Reach for the Terra atlas instead. But as a fast and slim gravel/mtb shoe, solid choice.
Shoes are comfortable, nice and sock-like feel when you put them on. They're also very much walkable, I rarely can hear cleat hitting the ground, obviously it's still a little bit awkward as your toes are quite high off the ground when you walk. Velcro is nice and quick but sometimes I wish I could do more fine tuning, with velcro you can either go "tight" or "loose". They're not very breathable but with a crap summer weather like this year (<30 deg) it's no issue whatsoever, in return they're very easy to clean!
