    Recon 1.0 Gravel & Mountain Bike Shoe

    Delivery Icon

    We deliver! Just say when and how.

    With the Recon 1.0 our goal was simple—put S-Works Recon-inspired performance in a very accessible package. Easier said than done, but we’ve created a shoe with Body Geometry comfort and efficiency in a durable, dirt-focused shoe. So yeah, mission accomplished.

    Using our 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, we’ve covered the nylon outsole with our SlipNot compound. We’ve also lifted the heel 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.

    Good shoes

    Good shoes. I like the all velcro closures. The only problem I had is that I had to bend the tongue back because it rubbed against my ankle and hurt.

    tick all the boxes.

    Great product just like any other specialized. I used to hate clipped in shoes because of several factors, but my knee pain forced me to start using one. To my surprise, the SPZ cycling shoes have none of the downsides that I hate: This is my second spz cycling shoe, and it Fits my EE wide feet perfectly, and still looks like a narrow show from distance. The cleats will not hit the floor when you walk with this shoe, and the toe flex makes a difference when pushing the bike uphill on difficult sections. There is also plenty of grip when walking over rocks and slippery stuff. It ticks all the boxes.

    Great replacement for my 24 year old cycling shoes

    I had a pair of Shimano cycling shoes of a very similar design that I purchased in 2000. A piece of the hard rubber sole chipped off, and I was heading to Spain for a cycling trip. I visited local cycling stores and REI here in greater Seattle, no joy. I found these online, ordered them, and they arrived the day before my flight to Spain! I was able to install the cleats to mirror my old Shimano shoes, and these worked like a champ on the bicycle as well as walking around town. I ordered the bright orange color to increase my visibility tor drivers. Garish but effective!

    I like them...

    After years of mtb racing using higher level shoes, I found these Recon 1.0 shoes to be very comfortable, yet still performance oriented. Having three separate velcro straps really helps me get a proper fit that I usually don't need to readjust during my rides. And walking on them is so much easier than my previous performance shoes. At this point, I have two active pairs of these puppies with another new set always in reserve. Pricing was right!

    No frills just works

    At the sale price plus 15% off Specialized is practically giving these away so I got a set. Run exactly true to size, what I ordered fit correctly. Cleats mounted up easy although I did have to rotate them slightly to feel centered. Usually I run cleats dead centered and that feels fine fyi. Power transfer felt fine, Velcro closures worked well, nothing to complain about here at all.

    These are narrow for my wide feet, but will work OK. Better fit than other brands, so I bought them. Worth the price on sale!

    Great value- pick this one

    Amazing shoe, especially for the price point. Solid support on the pedals and pliable enough for a comfortable walk with little to no clip contact with ground. Currently using on my road bike with shimano egg-beater style pedals, no hotspots so far. Tempted to switch over on my MTB as well.
