Zuatu Z1-Pro Shoes – the lightest Zuatu yet
The Zuatu Z1-Pro shoes are the new flagship from Zuatu, and they weigh about 190 g per shoe in a size 41. So they sit among the lightest carbon road shoes you can buy. Yet Zuatu built them to stay comfortable for a whole day in the saddle, not just a short race.
The shoe grew out of years of feedback from WorldTour riders at UAE Team Emirates, Bahrain Victorious and Jayco AlUla. As a result, the sole is stiff where you push hardest and a little softer where your foot needs room. Also, the Z1-Pro comes in White or Black, with Standard, Wide and Narrow fits in sizes 36 to 49.
Key features
- Zone-optimised 3K and UD carbon sole, tuned from Grand Tour pedalling data
- Heat-mouldable microfibre upper that shapes to your foot, so there is no break-in period
- Vibram anti-slip heel pad, which makes walking at the café stop much safer
- Two independent FreeLock dials for fine, zone-by-zone adjustment, even mid-ride
- Laser-perforated upper and sole vents that move air from toe to heel
- Fits any 3-bolt road cleat, including Shimano SPD-SL and Look Keo

Who are the Zuatu Z1-Pro shoes for?
They suit racers and fast group riders who want the lightest, stiffest shoe in the range. Plus, the three widths help riders whose feet have never felt right in big-brand shoes. If you want the same carbon feel for less, look at the Zuatu Z001-Pro or the Zuatu Z001. Then, for a soft knit upper at a lower price, there is the Zuatu Z002.
Sizing and fit
Zuatu uses EU sizes with half sizes. So measure your foot length in millimetres and check it against Zuatu’s size chart, or ask us to measure you in the shop. Also, choose Wide if your forefoot is broad, and Narrow if your heel tends to lift. Either way, the heat-mouldable upper fine-tunes the fit once you have the right size.
What’s in the box
First, choose your colour, fit and size above. You get one pair of shoes plus two insoles, including the custom-moulded high-arch insole. Cleats are not in the box, so add a set of Shimano or Look cleats if you need them.
