Laces have always worked perfectly, and that’s not about to change. Lace closure systems offer riders excellent pressure distribution points, allowing for a precise fit and incomparable comfort even with shoes fresh out of the box. So, if you’re looking for an ultra-performing shoe that guarantees uniform pressure distribution, you’ve found your match. And to top it all off, Specialized has removed all unnecessary elements and materials to make the shoe even more flexible, gently wrapping your foot. A little delicacy never hurt anyone.

The S-Works Recon Lace uses the same high-performance outsole as the S-Works Recon MTB shoes. This ultra-stiff carbon sole ensures that no watt of your power is wasted. Who would want their watts to escape anywhere other than their pedals? Today, Specialized simply offers another closure system option, for Gravel lovers and a more classic style. Let’s go!

Ridden, run, tested, and approved by Specialized athletes worldwide. From dirt tracks to tricky potholes and steep Gravel climbs that lead nowhere. Crossing streams, descending at full speed, devouring kilometers of rolling trails with hands on the drops, they are ready to face all types of surfaces. The S-Works Recon Lace have been put to the test by top athletes, but not only that, big rouleurs specializing in Gravel who like to eat up kilometers for several days have also experienced the new shoes.

Varus Wedge

With an integrated 1.5mm Varus Wedge, Body Geometry shoes stabilize the natural movement of your forefoot and improve foot, knee, and hip alignment, which increases power and adds an average of 10 seconds to your ability to perform at maximum intensity.

Arch Support

The foot is built like a leaf spring. Ideal for running. Bad for riding. Body Geometry shoes are designed with a patented molded arch support in the outsole to create a rigid structure which, combined with custom insoles, prevents foot collapse and increases power.

Metatarsal Button

Ready to banish hot spots and numbness? By lifting and separating the bones of the forefoot, the metatarsal button prevents compression of nearby nerves and arteries, so you can say goodbye to these problems that afflict so many cyclists.
