Designed to help riders in all weather conditions, fizik’s new Ergolace GTX is a rugged, weatherproof trail riding shoe with GORE-TEX protection.
With the Ergolace GTX’s GORE-TEX configuration, riders can cycle off-road in more challenging weather conditions. The shoe’s triple-layered, waterproof and breathable membrane gives protection from the elements and helps to keep feet dry.
The hard-wearing ripstop woven fabric uppers resist abrasion and tearing while a PU-laminated toecap and side reinforcements add further protection and durability. For increased comfort, the Ergolace GTX pattern cradles the foot, securing the fit with an ergonomic lace-up closure.
fizik notes that it designed the Ergolace GTX specifically to reduce bulk and avoid the puffy look of other mountain biking shoes… ‘meaning they’re ready to blend back into society when the backcountry missions are over.’
Available in clip-in and flat-pedal versions, both feature an X2 outsole, which is engineered to deliver a balance between efficient pedalling performance and comfort off the bike.
The compressed EVA midsole provides stability and cushioning while the Vibram rubber tread ensures grip and traction. A directional lug pattern is designed for confident footing; with spacing and depth to grip softer soil. The sole is also made from a compound that’s helpful when gripping slick rocks while hiking.
The flat-pedal version features a low-profile, tapered tread pattern on the midsole that allows for an immediate connection with pedal pins.
The clip-in version meanwhile, features an extended cleat track which provides more setback and flexibility for cleat placement.
