The S-Works Ares road shoes are Specialized’s premier performance footwear, engineered for elite racing and time trials. They feature a tongue-less, Dyneema-reinforced upper that conforms to the foot for uniform pressure distribution and ventilation. The seamless BOA Fit System with dual LW-6 dials provides micro-adjustable lockdown, while the FACT Powerline carbon outsole delivers industry-leading stiffness for uncompromised power transfer.
