Specialized Sport Road Shoes 2017

The Specialized Sport Road Shoe 2017 is a great entry-point into the world of road riding. It features everything you need from a road cycling shoe, from a stiff, lightweight sole, all the way through to Velcro closure straps that keep your feet snug and secure.

Paying testament to this is the sole that Specialized use within a vast range of their shoes, the Body Geometry sole. This sole has been ergonomically designed to fit the contours of your foot, giving unparalleled levels of support to boost power and increase efficiency. The sole also helps to reduce the chance of injury by optimising hip, knee and foot alignment.

The injection-moulded nylon composite sole provides great stiffness for a shoe at this level. It reaches a 6.0 on the Stiffness Index, giving you, the rider, a great power transfer for sprinting out of the saddle or conserving energy over long periods of time in the saddle.

Specialized’s use of a three-strap offset Velcro® is the culmination of needing a superior fit, without affecting the price point of the Sport Road Shoe. The Velcro® allows you to dial in your perfect fit, giving you a snug, tight shoe that gives enough comfort for long days in the saddle, but also high levels of stiffness to push your efficiency to new heights.

Reflective heel elements are used to increase visibility in low-light conditions, meaning it doesn’t matter whether you’re riding to work in the morning, heading out during the day or riding home at night, you’re going to be seen by motorists.
