  "account": "Fizik's Ferox 2 gravel shoes are a comfortable choice for gravel racing, thanks to their updated design and ergonomic fit. The brand's Anatomical Last provides a wider forefoot and less heel-to-toe drop, reducing forefoot pressure and eliminating lateral hotspots around the toes. The full carbon sole offers high stiffness and power transfer, with TPU tread protecting it from scuffs and scrapes. The shoes feature a one-piece design with an Airprene upper, perforations for breathability, and a scratch-resistant PU-laminated covering. Retention is achieved through a Boa Li2 dial and a Powerstrap Velcro strap, offering secure foot retention and easier adjustability than traditional laces. The shoes have a claimed weight of 295g per shoe, with a size 45 weighing 342g on the reviewer's scales. While the bootie-like upper requires a bit of effort to get on, it becomes very comfortable once in place. The strap-and-dial combination delivers a secure foot feel and offers even pressure distribution across the upper of the foot. At £319.99 / $369.99, the Ferox 2 offer good value compared to similar-spec gravel race shoes.",
