Specialized made my day

It was a really cruddy work day then I came home to these. Instant mood booster!

That's one way to improve visibility!

But how well do they fit?

[unterhausen]

those are very, very red. And anti-gravity too

Special super-hi grip sole.

They're so light they defy gravity!

They fit like the 2012 Sworks in toe box. I run a 43 in those and a 44 in these.
That toe box expansion over the last sworks is key.

Heel cup is very supportive, very reminiscent of a better fitting giro porlight SLX II.

To give you an idea of width, I wear the R321 44 wide. These are just slightly narrower but fit great for my wide feet.

Very nice. I picked up a pair a couple weeks ago and they were extremely light and well made. I hope a pair shows up at my home soon.

Those are good looking

Those look atrocious.

I love them.

Red shoes would really tie my whole bike ensemble together. Too bad I found specialized shoes too narrow.

I got mine last week and they are indeed very very very beautiful, arguably the nicest shoes I have ever seen. Problem is, my size 40 is still at little too long (as confirmed by the local Spesh fitter) so they went back. It was a sad day even though I saved $428.

Just got an email this AM that I'm getting a refund which means that they don't have a size 39 as I requested. :(

EDIT - Spoke too soon, I checked the Spesh site just for kicks and they have my size 39!!!! :banana::banana::banana:

[beeemmjay]

Nice - those look electric!

[BlueFly]

Nice shoes....Hmm, seems like I have seen these before ;)

Try these ones. They're a bit tighter than my shimano r321 wide or.....


wait when the wide version is available in RED!!!!!!!!! Yep, not just black but red and white sworks 6 will have a wide version.
