The Artica X5’s Internal Speed Lacing system makes fitting to your foot shape quick and accurate. Its Microtex Reinforced Shell offers structured support while the Seamless bonding on the outer provides low-profile impact protection and the Breathable Membrane maximizes airflow. The waterproof outer is easy to clean and the waterproof zip ensures that even the worst weather stays out.
The Carbon reinforced nylon outsole – tough, light and stiff for trail protection, support and power transfer – is combined with the comfortable fi’zi:k Winter Edition Cycling Insole, with a cosy fleece upper and an insulating aluminum foil underside, for all-season warmth. Rubber treads mean you’ll always keep your grip on any surface.
Like all fizik’s shoes, the Artica X5 benefits from our program of designing with, and for, professional riders, to create the best possible shoes for you, whatever the surface and whatever the season.

Artica X5 is the perfect winter Off-Road cycling shoe for warmth, comfort, protection and performance riding in even the coldest, wettest conditions off-road. Fully waterproof, with advanced insulation properties, trail protection and robust grip, Artica X5 beats the elements, yet is a tough, lightweight performance shoe.
The Microtex upper is supple yet strong and stable for a comfortable and consistent fit. It is assembled in a sleek and streamlined yet highly ergonomic pattern, offering you the protection you need.
Overcurve is a shoe construction featuring a staggered collar that wraps around the ankle, tracing the natural misalignment of the ankle’s two bony protrusions: the lateral and medial malleoli. The result is an asymmetrical shape, with the throat of the shoe curving over the foot from its outside to its inner side. The closure is simple and secure, powered by a micro-adjustable BOA IP1 dial.
Vento Overcurve X3 are assembled with extensive use of welding and laminated reinforcements, reducing exposed stitching that could collect dirt. They are light but tough, durable and easy to wipe and clean.
The race-orientated characteristics of these shoes are continued with the X3 carbon injected outsole: it’s minimal to save weight, but stiff for power transfer, and with an aggressive tread that claws the ground and easily sheds the mud.
