SHOES SPECIALIZED S-WORKS ARES

Specialized S-Words Ares shoes in white. Specialized Manufacturer Reference: 61021-4341

When it comes time to attack the ascent, a long solo getaway, or a sprint at full throttle and at the limit, every watt counts, which is why we designed the S-Works Ares, the most efficient performance shoe and potent more created. We combine decades of Body Geometry development with obsessive innovation working with the best athletes in the world to completely re-imagine the competition shoe. A completely new, patent-pending closure system, a fingerless sock reinforced with Dyneema® and an ultra-rigid carbon outer sole FACT Powerline ™ eliminates foot rocking, reduces pressure on the tendons and transfers every gram of power to the pedals for unprecedented performance and comfort. It’s 1% faster than any shoe we’ve made, and at the finish line, that’s all that matters.
The key to more comfort, fewer injuries and higher energy production comes from our ergonomically designed and scientifically proven Body Geometry features: longitudinal arch, var angle and custom insoles with metatarsal pad. These three features align the hip, foot, and knee, while also limiting the medial / lateral movement of the knee and maintaining good circulation to the toes.
The patent-pending closure design secures the foot during extreme exertion, out of the saddle, blocking the metatarsals and preventing lateral rotation.
Dyneema® is sandwiched between layers of synthetic material and TPU to create non-stretch zones for maximum connection and comfort.
Our most rigid and lightweight carbon sole FACT Powerline ™, maximizes energy transfer: Stiffness Index 15.
Independent Boa ® Li2 Fit system for a micro-adjustment on the fly, supported by the Boa ® Guarantee.
The construction of the Padlock ™ heel cradles the heel and has been shown to significantly improve acceleration.
Replaceable non-slip heel with internal screws for added security.
Fit form with ample space for toes, the ultimate in comfort.
The nuts on the titanium alloy coves can be rotated to put the coves 5 mm back and fit all 3-hole main road pedals.
Approximate weight: 220g (1/2 pair, Size 42)
