More details of the Specialized S-Works 7 Vent Road Shoe

The key to more comfort, less injuries, and higher power output comes from the ergonomically designed, scientifically tested Body Geometry Features - Longitudinal Arch, Varus Wedge, and personalized insoles with a Metatarsal Button. When used in harmony, these features align the hip, foot, and knee, while also limiting medial/lateral knee movement and maintaining good circulation down to your toes.

The Vented Mouthport toe box pulls air in through the front of the shoe and channels it around your feet, while the entire-new, engineered mesh upper and tongue let that air flow freely throughout the shoe - aiding in both cooling and sweat evaporation. Along with the engineered mesh in the upper, Specialized added a layer of Dyneema® Mesh to keep strong-hold of your foot, ensuring pro-proven power transfer.

Specialized has utilized the same 66-gram FACT Powerline carbon outsole found in the EXOS line. With its mesh-covered ventilation holes, the sole furthers the shoe’s cooling properties, all while dropping weight to 230 grams (one shoe, size 42).

For power transfer, the PadLock heel construction cradles the heel to ensure optimal power transfer. In fact, it’s been scientifically-proven to improve acceleration. Pair that with two independent, alloy BOA S3-Snap dials backed by the BOA Lifetime Guarantee, and you can fine-tune your level of foot-hold on-the-fly.

The titanium alloy cleat nuts can rotate to position the cleats 5mm rearward. The non-slip, replaceable heel tread with internally recessed screws increases the security. The three-bolt cleat pattern fits all major road pedals.
