Specialized S-Works Ares 2 Road Shoe Black, 41.5

"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""I’ve never felt this kind of immediate power transfer in a road shoe before. The Ares 2 locks my foot in with zero pressure hot spots thanks to the Body Geometry design, and the Dual BOA dials let me fine-tune fit on the fly. It’s the shoe I trust when every watt counts.""We chase podiums and personal records, and the S-Works Ares 2 gives us the edge to ride harder, longer, and more comfortably. Specialized’s commitment to innovation is clear in every millimeter of this shoe—from its anatomical Body Geometry construction to its ultra-efficient carbon sole. This shoe disappears beneath us on the climb, yet feels like a rocket on the sprint. Engineered with patented technologies like the Varus Wedge, Metatarsal Button, and Longitudinal Arch support, the Ares 2 brings science to cycling efficiency. The newly refined Body Geometry Last reduces forefoot pressure by 44%, while a rigid unidirectional carbon sole channels every watt directly into the pedals. Add in the micro-adjustable Dual-Dial Li2 BOA® system, and we've got a fit so secure it feels like a second skin."
