Specialized S-Works Recon Lace Gravel and MTB Shoes

Specialized S-Works Recon Lace Gravel and MTB Shoes Extensively developed with Specialized athletes; both professional and amateur; the S-Works Recon Lace Shoes blend unmistakable style with enhanced efficiency and comfort to become an optimum choice for the most challenging gravel and MTB adventures. A brand new L.A.C.E. closure system incorporates a traditional laced format to enhance aesthetics and grant an evenly tightening; personalised fit. This simplified lace system removes excess material across the top of the feet and combines with the welded mesh and Dyneema uppers to provide a flexible; soft and supportive feel. The uppers also include a reinforced section around the toes to protect them from rock strikes. Underneath; the 100% carbon soles have a stiffness index of 13.0 to guarantee excellent power transfer and are finished with a protective layer of carbon on their exteriors to combat scuffs and scrapes. Realised via Specialized’s Body Geometry concept; these soles incorporate Longitudinal Arches to stabilise the structure of the feet and Varus Wedges that subtly tilt the feet outwards for improved knee alignment. Additionally; the insoles have integrated Metatarsal Buttons that reduce numbness by relieving pressure on blood vessels and nerves. Rubber tread on the heels and toes help when walking off the bike; and replaceable toe spikes afford grip for those hike-a-bike moments. TPU pontoons stabilise the engagement of the cleats with the pedals; while extended cleat attachment slots allow for more precise positioning.
