Specialized Recon 1.0 Shoes

With the 2022 Specialized Recon 1.0 Shoe the goal was simple—put S-Works Recon-inspired performance in a very accessible package. Easier said than done, but now Specialized has created a shoe with Body Geometry comfort and efficiency in a durable, dirt-focused shoe. So yeah, mission accomplished. Using exclusive STRIDE toe-flex technology, the nylon outsole uses a TPU injected forefoot for natural movement off-bike, while still providing a stiffness index of 6.0 for in-the-saddle performance. The Recon 1.0 is a double threat—efficiency at the pedals with comfort and confidence off bike. To create traction off the bike in wet or dry, gravel or dirt, the nylon outsole is covered with SlipNot compound. The heel is lifted for an even more natural feeling while walking. Three Velcro closures make slipping into the Recon 1.0 easy, and creates a fit designed for all day comfort and performance, whether your ride calls for open gravel, twisting single track, and even more than your fair share of hike-a-bike.
