Specialized S-Works Ares Road Shoes – Black

When the moment comes for an attack in the hills, a long solo move, or a full gas sprint for the line, every watt counts, which is why we designed the S-Works Ares to be the most efficient and powerful performance shoe ever made.

We combined decades of body geometry development with obsessive innovation working with the world’s best athletes to completely reimagine the race shoe. An entirely new patent-pending closure system dyneema-reinforced tongueless sock and ultra-stiff FACT powerline carbon outsole eliminate foot roll, reduce pressure on tendons and transfer every ounce of power to the pedals for unprecedented performance and comfort. The Ares is 1% faster than any shoe Specialized has ever made.

Sw Ares (Greek god of war) Is the most powerful, most efficient and most comfortable shoe we’ve ever made. Ultra-efficiency meets unrivaled comfort. This new shoe is the result of a ten-year journey involving riders from Mark Cavendish to Sam Bennett.

Key Features:

• Efficiency is delivered by the new closure system, it works by triangulating retention across the midfoot spreading pressure out over a larger surface area, this eliminates foot roll within the shoe.
• Comfort is delivered by a combination of the new closure system and a Dyneema-reinforced tongueless sock, these features work together to remove impingement of the tendons on top of the foot.
• Power is delivered by our World Championship-winning FACT Powerline™ carbon outsole with a stiffness index of 15.0, combined the new patent-pending closure system, means every ounce of energy becomes pure acceleration
