Specialized Recon ADV Shoe

Specialized Recon ADV shoe in purple.

When we feel good, we ride well. It is a principle as old as cycling itself. That's the idea behind the new Recon ADV, where driving in style is just as important as driving itself. These gravel shoes meet all the requirements in terms of aesthetics, which is not incompatible with the best efficiency when it comes to traveling hundreds of kilometers. The new Recon ADV is suitable for riders who value adventure and time spent on the bike, but who also need all-day shoes after their rides. The Recon ADV has excellent walking ability thanks to STRIDE-toe-flex technology, which provides a more natural feel when the rider gets off the bike.

Don't let the good looks fool you, the Recon ADV is also built with our Body Geometry technology, making it perfect for those looking for maximum performance and comfort for long rides. Drawing on the experience of two decades of development, and validation of the data, with Body Geometry technology we ensure that there are no pain points, only the best performance, where the body connects with the bike. Thanks to the varus wedge, the longitudinal arch support and the metatarsal button, your feet are kept in the optimal position when pedaling, as well as aligned with your knee and hip.

• STRIDE toe-flex technology allows greater toe flexion for better walking and ensures traction on steep slopes
• The upper part is laser perforated and uses microfiber inside for better moisture management and a flexible feel.
• Pedal and walk with complete confidence thanks to the TPU reinforcements that offer protection against shocks
• Lateral studs create a stable pedaling platform, as well as improving the feeling of walking
• The sole incorporates greater SlipNot rubber coverage to improve traction on gravel terrain
• Body Geometry technology adds a varus wedge to maintain efficient and comfortable hip, knee and foot alignment while pedaling
