I like them. My first pair of clippers and they’re comfy and easily adjustable.

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.
Accurate sizing guidance can be gained by measuring the length of your feet from the back of the heel to the tip of the big toe. This measurement corresponds to the "CM" column in our size chart.

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.
