Road-specific winter cycling shoes featuring an insulating fleece lining and advanced GORE-TEX membrane to provide waterproof protection and breathability so feet stary warm, dry, and comfortable. Insulated throughoutThe Tempo Artica GTX is a fully insulated, waterproof, and breathable winter-riding road shoe. No matter how harsh the climate and whatever adventure you have planned, this shoe is built to protect you from the most severe cold, wet weather. Fleece linedFeaturing an insulated GORE-TEX Koala membrane, the Tempo Artica GTX is fully waterproof, meaning you can rely on proven performance to keep you dry when it matters most. But beyond simply stopping wet weather, the advanced GORE-TEX technology is optimized for better breathability. To fight against frozen toes and keep feet toasty, the Artica GTX features a brushed-fleece lining. The effect is twofold, adding a soft layer that encompasses the feet in extra comfort while providing added warmth for triple-digit rides in single-digit temperatures. Stable fit & easy adjustmentThe Artica GTX takes a two-part approach to ensuring a secure, responsive fit - especially important for effective power transfer on road rides. The upper Velcro closure wraps around the ankle to deliver a locked-in feel, while the shoe's lower section is secured via a single L6 BOA® dial, for infinite adjustments on the fly. Responsive ridingThe nylon outsole of the newly redesigned R5 offers comfort and moderate stiffness for efficient pedaling. Additionally, the cleat position is set slightly further back compared to traditional settings to better optimize pedaling efficiency and reduce knee compression. On this winter-specific configuration, the outsole omits vented holes to keep feet warm and dry.
