Lacing closures give riders multiple points of cincture to effect precise adjustment for a sublime feel right out of the box. If that even pressure distribution is what you’ve been looking for all along, you’re in luck. Laces are the age-old way of honing in your fit. We also removed any extraneous hardware from the upper to make the shoe supple and essentially create a hug for your feet. Because who doesn’t love hugs? Put Your Fancy Feet ForwardThe S-Works Recon Lace uses the same high-performance dirt-specific carbon outsole found on our S-Works Recon shoes. This incredibly stiff carbon sole makes sure none of the power you’re putting down goes to waste. Because why would you want to waste all that power? Now, we just have another closure option for the style-obsessed gravel gurus out there. Let’s go! Specialized Surface StudiesRidden, raced, tested, and approved by our Specialized athletes globally. From hardpack dirt tracks to broken pavement potholes and steep gravel climbs that lead to nowhere. Stream crossings and gas station raids, even a few tall cans were crushed in these shoes. The S-Works Recon Lace has been put to the test with our top-tier athletes. Plus, a few that aren’t top tier, but just really like to ride, a lot. Body Geometry FeaturesVarus Wedge - With a 1.5mm built-in Varus Wedge, Body Geometry shoes stabilize the natural movement of your forefoot and improve foot, knee, and hip alignment, which increases power output and adds an average of 10 seconds to your time to exhaustion during maximum efforts.Longitudinal Arch - The foot is built like a leaf spring. Great for running. Bad for riding. Body Geometry shoes are designed with patented, molded arch support in the outsole to create a rigid structure, which is paired with customizable footbeds to prevent foot collapse and wasted power.Metatarsal ButtonReady to banish hot spots and numbness from your ride? By lifting and separating the bones of the forefoot, our Metatarsal Button prevents impinging and compressing nearby nerves and arteries, so you can say goodbye to foot issues that used to plague long or hot rides.S-Works Recon Lace Fact SheetWelded mesh/TPU and Dyneema® upper is supple yet supportive and provides a soft, buttery fit that wont stretchS-Works Recon Lace outsole100% carbon torsion box construction: stiffness index 13.0Woven carbon is used on the outside surface for impact protectionContains all of our Body Geometry featuresLongitudinal Arch built into the outsole to prevent arch collapse+1.5mm forefoot Varus Wedge to prevent forefoot collapse (pronation)Metatarsal Button (spreads the toes to prevent numbness)TPU pontoons create stable engagement with the pedal while SlipNot™ rubber heel and toe tread provide confidence off the bikeReplaceable toe spikes allow you to adjust the traction to the specific terrainExternal toe cap for protectionTi-alloy t-nut with extended slots is lightweight and allows for an additional 5mm of rearward cleat adjustment280 grams (size 42)
