The Mechanism road shoe is a collaboration between insta darlings Pas Normal Studios (PNS) and the Italian shoe and saddle brand Fizik. They’ve called it Mechanism because it slots directly into PNS’ performance line of the same name, identifying it as a lightweight racing shoe with a heavyweight price tag.
Yes, that price. At a smidgen below £400 - at £390 - this is about as much as you’ll pay for a pair of the best cycling shoes, a similar amount can bag you a racing icon, such as the feature-laden Sidi Wire2S or Shimano’s slightly pricier but battle-proven S-Phyre RC903. Only the handmade in Italy Nimbl Ultimate makes the Mechanism look cheap.
