Fizik for PEdALED GTX Ergolace $220
We remember the first Ergolace Fizik shoes. You can read that review in our archives. Since the Ergolace’s inception, Fizik has never made a GORETEX model. Until now. As a collaboration between its sibling company PEdALED, Fizik engineered an all new outer and upper shell using GTX to keep the water out and your feet toasty warm, even in cold, sloppy conditions. With a footbed that’s in between a gravel shoe and a MTB shoe, the Ergolace feels great on a touring bike, gravel bike, or hardtail alike.
