For the price I’m chuffed with these shoes, well built, stiff and the Boa dial is a great feature on shoes of this price point. Seem after a few months of use to be holding up with the punishment of mountain biking well

Specialized Recon 1.0 Highlights
Featuring a Body Geometry sole and footbed scientifically designed to enhance power, efficiency, and alignment, along with Injection STRIDE toe-flex technology for natural movement off-bike and stiffness for pedalling, the Recon 1.0 ensures both comfort and performance. Additionally, its SlipNot™ rubber tread offers confident traction on all terrains, and the two-bolt cleat pattern fits all major MTB pedals. With an approximate weight of 331g (1/2 pair, Size 42), the Recon 1.0 is ready to tackle any trail.
Sizing note:
Specialized shoes run approximately half a size small. When in doubt, size up — most customers find they need one size larger than their usual EU size.

Shoes are very comfortable, nice fit. Upgrade them with specialized insoles. For me they are stiff enough. Highly recommended

Q & A

What about women’s sizing?
Hi there, The Recon 1.0 is sold in one size run, EU 36 to 49, rather than separate men's and women's versions, so you'd pick by your EU size within that range. They come up around half a size small, so if you're between sizes it's worth going up. The surest way to get it right is to try a pair on at one of our stores. Many thanks Joe W
Buying my first pair of cycling shoes. should I size up like running trainers? Or go with usual shoe size ? Thanks
Hi there, If you are unsure on sizing please visit one of our stores so you can try the shoes on, Many thanks Joe W
About Specialized
Innovate or die.
Founded in California in 1974, Specialized began with a simple promise: serious riders deserve serious gear. Half a century later, the brand still funds its own wind tunnel, builds its own carbon, and tests every bike with the world's best so that you ride your own best.
The first production mountain bike. The first cycling-specific shoes. FACT carbon, the Win Tunnel, S-Works. Specialized has a habit of building the things the rest of cycling ends up copying.
