Let’s start with some positives: the Omna Vento is Fizik’s least expensive shoe, and it’s available in a wide fitting, which is the version I’m reviewing here. With an RRP of £164.99/$169.99, it’s hardly cheap, but it compares favourably to the competition from other high-end brands, and it shares the same price as the regular Vento Omna. So, there’s no penalty for rocking pancake-sized feet, which is to be commended.
These shoes bear a remarkable resemblance to Fizik’s higher-tier Tempo Decos Carbon model. To all intents and purposes this is a cut-price version of the same shoe, so I’ll be exploring the key differences to help you decide which is the best buy for you.
