Specialized has adopted an uncompromising approach to ensure maximum power transfer to your pedals through your road cycling shoes. The introduction of the lighter and stiffer Powerline™ carbon sole, developed by the same team behind Rider-First Engineering, marks a significant advancement. This breakthrough has resulted in the lightest and stiffest carbon outsole to date. Additionally, the Padlock™ Heel has undergone a complete refinement process, offering enhanced comfort while maintaining exceptional heel retention. Furthermore, the utilisation of space-grade Dyneema™ material in the upper ensures minimal stretch, securing your foot precisely where it should be. With these innovations combined, you can rest assured that "every watt is sacred" whether you are hitting the tarmac for an afterwork spin or trying to beat your PB on the turbo trainer.
In the realm of comfort, all beloved Body Geometry features, including the Longitudinal Arch, Varus Wedge, and Metatarsal Button, have been retained. Each of these features has been meticulously designed and scientifically tested to not only enhance power output but also increase efficiency and reduce the risk of injury.
Luxury hasn't been overlooked either. The design of the S-Works 7 emphasises both form and function, with bonded seams for a clean, contoured fit akin to a slipper. The custom CNC’d alloy BOA® dials not only add a touch of elegance but also offer durable spring clutch internals and precise one-millimetre micro-adjustments for a perfect fit every time.
The S-Works 7 encapsulates Specialized's extensive knowledge in footwear, condensed into a single cycling shoe, no compromises, no shortcuts, just explosive speed and superior comfort.
