Specialized Elite Road Shoe 2017

Specialized Elite Road Shoe 2017

A range of features sets the Specialized Elite Road Shoe 2017 apart from the competition, but what jumps out more than anything else is the price and value for money. It features trickle-down technology which gives riders who don’t want to spend top-level money a taster of what the professionals are riding and it’s all within a neat, beautifully styled package.

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.

The difference between the Specialized Elite Road Shoe and Comp Road Shoe is the closure system of which Specialized have incorporated. Using a ratchet buckle and over strap within the Elite, the rider is safe in the knowledge that once the buckle is down and the strap is closed, your foot isn’t going to move. Furthering on from this, the buckle features micro-adjustment buckles to make precise changes to your shoes fit on the go.
