Find the perfect road cycling shoes for you at Escapa.
The Specialized S-Works Ares Road Shoes combine decades of Body Geometry development with an obsession for innovation, working with the world’s top athletes to completely reimagine the race shoe. A completely new, patent-pending closure system, a Dyneema®-reinforced toe-less sock liner, and an ultra-stiff FACT Powerline™ carbon outsole eliminate foot roll, reduce pressure on the tendons, and transfer every gram of power to the pedals for unprecedented performance and comfort.
When it’s time to attack on a climb, go on a long solo breakaway, or sprint at full throttle to the limit, every watt counts—that’s why we designed the S-Works Ares, the most efficient and powerful performance shoe ever created. It’s 1% faster than any shoe we’ve ever made, and at the finish line, that’s all that matters.
Features:
. The key to greater comfort, fewer injuries, and increased power output comes from our ergonomically designed and scientifically tested Body Geometry features: longitudinal arch support, varus angle, and custom insoles with metatarsal padding. These three features align the hip, foot, and knee, while also limiting medial/lateral movement of the knee and maintaining good circulation all the way to the toes.
. The patent-pending closure design secures the foot during extreme efforts out of the saddle, locking the metatarsals in place 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 stiffest and lightest carbon outsole, the FACT Powerline™, maximizes energy transfer: Stiffness Index 15.
. Independent BOA® Li2 Fit system for on-the-fly micro-adjustment, backed by the BOA® Guarantee.
. The PadLock™ Talon construction cradles the talon and has been shown to significantly improve acceleration.
. Replaceable, non-slip Talon with internal screws for added security.
. Form Fit with ample toe box space for ultimate comfort.
. The titanium alloy cleat nuts can be turned to position the cleats 5 mm backward and are compatible with all major 3-hole road pedals.
. Approximate weight: 220 g (1/2 pair, Size 42)
