Specialized S-Works 7 Vent Road Cycling Shoes
The Specialized S-Works 7 Vent Road Cycling Shoes pair all the much-loved technology from the original S-Works 7 shoes with a newly developed upper material, creating performance footwear for the hottest summer days and the hardest sustained efforts, keeping weight to a minimum and comfort to a maximum. Body Geometry ergonomic design sits at the core of these shoes, scientifically developed to enhance comfort, improve pedalling efficiency and reduce the chance of injury through an optimised position and correct alignment of the hips, knees and feet.
Utilising the same FACT Powerline™ carbon sole as that found in the EXOS model, strategically placed vents bring a consistent flow of cooling air that's complemented by the new vented toe cap, and together they create an open feel and incredible ventilation. This sole is paired with a completely redesigned, single-layer upper reinforced by Dyneema mesh to provide both structure and breathability. Closed around the foot using a dual Boa dial and lace system offering plenty of adjustment, the fit is easy to tweak mid-ride if you want some extra security for a sprint finish or when hitting a punchy climb. Specialized's PadLock™ heel brings a cradling effect so there'll be no slipping while you're putting in your biggest efforts.
Compatible with three-bolt road pedal systems, there's an additional 5mm of adjustment to cleat positioning thanks to the rotation of the titanium alloy cleat nuts. When the time comes, it's easy to replace the heel tread, rejuvenate grip when walking and prevent excess wear to the sole itself, meaning you'll be able to reap the benefits of these shoes, season after season.
