Fizik Transiro Powerstrap R4 | $140
Rating: ★ ★ ★ ★ | Weight: 247g (size 42)
Basics
The standard race-quality triathlon shoe, the TR5W has an asymmetrical heel loop and one strap for fast transitions. There are some holes and breathability for water, and the shoe is compatible with Look/SPD-SL and SPD cleats.
Pros
- This classic triathlon race shoe has received a few updates
- Good value for a tri shoe
- Fits snugly and provides solid connection to the pedal
Cons
- The strap can be slightly long, may require trimming
- Despite some breathability holes, the upper isn’t as light or flexible as the EXOS, for example
- Thick, soft material will likely retain that “wet triathlon shoe” smell fairly quickly
