Recon 1.0 Mountain Bike Shoe
Whether the day ahead has open gravel, winding singletrack, or even some hike-a-bike in store, the Specialized Recon 1.0 Mountain Bike Shoe covers all your bases with a durable, efficient, and comfortable-in-the-dirt design. Courtesy of Specialized's exclusive STRIDE toe-flex technology, this shoe is able to deftly strike the balance of confident, natural movement off the bike and efficient pedaling in the saddle with a stiffness index of 6.0.
Backed by science, the Body Geometry sole and footbed are designed to increase power and efficiency by serving up optimal hip, knee, and foot alignment for pump track sessions and all-day XC sufferfests alike. A lifted heel adds even more natural comfort when you're forced to walk sections of the ride, and SlipNot rubber treads on the outsole lock in surefooted traction in case you encounter muddy conditions.

Excellent budget shoe

- Size Bought:
- 700x25
For the price, I think these are great. The three straps allow a good range of adjustability and helps to reduce pressure points when tightening. I've tried Shimano, Fizik, and Pearl Izumi clipless shoes, and found that all of them pinched across the top of my foot at the toes. But Specialized seem to have the right amount of width that the upper is not pinched inward when tightening. The velcro is strong, and a lot faster to get on and tight than Boa systems. The bolt holes are well positioned slightly inward of centre, and there are clear markings that make it easy setting up the same cleat position and angle on both shoes. The sole feels sufficiently stiff that I don't notice any flex on landings etc.

Nice budget level shoe

- I've put it through the wringer
For context, I have a narrow flat foot and weigh close to 160 with gear. This is pretty good for a budget shoe. For me, at this price point, I'm not going to get that glove like fit of some of the $200 and up shoes (remember - narrow foot). I like Specialized's body geometry thinking that went into the sole of the shoe - it means that I don't have to put a special insole in the shoe to get proper knee motion. They give it a "6" on the stiffness meter, which works just fine for me. I have used stiffer shoes, but I'm happy with a 6. If you're more on the Clydesdale side, then you might need something a bit stiffer if you're looking to transfer that 300 plus watts to the pedals. The uppers are comfortable, but on my narrow foot, they tend to bunch up a bit near the toes when the straps are tightened. If your foot is higher volume, you probably won't have a problem. The shoes are also reasonably light considering that the sole has some nice size lugs. I have not gotten them wet so far, but the uppers seem to be made of a fast drying material. I used the size chart provided by Specialized here on the Backcountry website, and it was spot on for me. A European size 45 is equivalent to an 11.5 US size in this shoe, so yeah, it runs about a half size large compared to some other shoes. If you're looking for a XC or gravel shoe that won't break the bank, yet has some nice design features, this could be the one. When I can afford a more expensive pair of shoes, I will definitely consider the Specialized lineup.

First pair of Specialized shoes... just bought a Specialized bike and these match it perfectly! They ran big.. had to return my first pair and got a 42 I wear a size 10 sometimes 11 shoe. But these fit great and I took them out today and they were great! Matched my bike perfectly!
