MTB race shoe: Fizik Infinito X1 in a practical test
A very good fit in combination with modern material at the top and carbon sole at the bottom definitely justify the price.
The race shoe combines everything that is possible in terms of ergonomics and materials: a snug microtex upper, stiff carbon sole, optimised footbed, double boa lacing that can be finely adjusted forwards and backwards.
A light, elegant and very comfortable high-end shoe whose Achilles' heel is the somewhat dirt-sensitive Boa mechanism in combination with the soft upper material. A dusty, stiff turning wheel tore out when opening. The replacement shoes turned out to be more stable.
