Building on the legendary performance and comfort of the S-Works 7 shoes, the S-Works Vent features an engineered-mesh upper, two toe ports, and a ventilated outsole for 360 degrees of foot cooling. Feel the wind beneath your feet.
Whether it’s a sweltering climb at the Vuelta or a toasty afternoon in your hometown, the S-Works 7 Vent was developed to keep you comfortable on even the hottest days. So, bring on the mountains, the sun and the heat. With new features like the Vented Mouthport toe box and an all-new engineered mesh upper, the S-Works 7 Vent delivers exceptional ventilation and aides in sweat evaporation. This makes these superb cycling shoes more ventilated than a chain-link fence, all with the Body Geometry design, performance and comfort that made the S-Works 7 shoes so legendary.
Pair all this with World-Tour-proven features like Specialized's Body Geometry Longitudinal Arch, Varus Wedge, and personalised insoles with a Metatarsal Button, the PadLock™ heel, a FACT Powerline™ carbon outsole, and machined alloy BOA® S3-Snap dials, and you’re set for any ride or race, no matter how high the mercury rises.
The key to more comfort, less injuries, and higher power output comes from ergonomically designed, scientifically tested Body Geometry Features - Longitudinal Arch, Varus Wedge, and personalised insoles with a Metatarsal Button. When used in harmony, these three 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, a layer of Dyneema® Mesh was added to keep strong-hold of your foot, ensuring pro-proven power transfer.
The same 66g FACT Powerline™ carbon outsole found in the EXOS line was utilised. With its mesh-covered ventilation holes, the sole furthers the shoe’s cooling properties, all while dropping weight to 230g (1/2 pair, Size 42).
For power transfer, a 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.
