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 the S-Works Ares Road Shoe was designed to be the most efficient and powerful performance shoe ever made. Specialized 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. It’s 1% faster than any shoe they’ve ever made, and at the finish line, that’s all that matters.
