Son muy cómodas y bastante resistentes, contento con la compra
Just got them today, still need to test them on the trail but overall the quality is excellent. The sole is very hard and durable. I ordered a size up like reviews suggested and they fit a little loose. I would recommend going a half size larger in any.
Upsides: soles are amazingly sturdy and sticky: I won't hurt my feet on rocks. And uppers will deflect any rock, branch, pedal or other threat that might even think about coming my way. Downside: fit. These days, most shoes have contours: wider in front, tapered at the back. But these shoes are a near-perfect 19th century oval: a little too narrow in front, loose at the heel. And if you put in some insoles to increase the arch and make them fit better... now the closures hit my ankle bone in a weird way, which I didn't realize until I started riding. If you're straight and skinny (like many cyclists seem to be), they may work well for you. But if you have any curves, I'd look at other options. Also, soft ankle pad joins to firm lower body in a way that causes it to fold over and get stuck when putting it on. I have to stick my finger in at the heel and straighten it out every time. Overall, at sale price of fifty bucks, they're a steal. But need a refit to serve the mesomorphic.
Really grippy shoes - stickiest I’ve ever worn. They’re also very supportive and protective. But they look like you have them on the wrong feet! The left looks like it should be on the right and visa versa. They also run small.
After 10 rides total 260 km on mixed terain. These are 1 Very comfortable 2 Grip on Pedals is good even on pedals with tiny pins and on long pins they STICK 3 Walking also confortable with no foot slipage inside the shoes 4 Weather was VERY Hot way over 20°C, no issues with sweaty feet
Definitely would buy again especially when hevily discounted
Great traction, will see how they handle the SoCal heat this summer.
The shoes are true to size. I followed the sizing instructions on the website. The fit is perfect. I've worn them in the rain (PNW rain). My feet stayed dry. The outside dried off fast. The shoes are the right amount of sticky and the toe protection is great. I'm really liking these shoes.
외관, 사이즈, 밑창 등 품질이 매우 우수합니다.
Sizing is true to size if you already know your Specialized shoe size. If not, go to a store that sells them and find out your size. The soles aren’t as sticky/grippy as Five Ten Stealth - maybe 7.5-8/10 if Stealth is a 10. I’ve tried these 2FOs on Deity Deftraps and Wolf Tooth Waveforms. The 2FOs sole stiffness is better than Freerider Pros but I haven’t had them long enough to see if they’ll remain stiff. I’m about 200lb / 91kg and I can climb and descend for longer without foot pain despite less absolute traction. Walking traction doesn’t seem quite as good. Downhill performance is close to perfect. Toe box protection, insole, and lacing is better than Freerider Pros but because of the less absolute grip from the soles, I have noticed some foot hopping on super rough trails. Regular trail riding is great. Waterproofing is unknown but they don’t get sweaty easily. Overall, on sale, these are the best $/performance flat pedal shoes I have tried and would buy again.
Ski Boots, ever where them? They serve one purpose, to keep your feet attached to the ski. Why am I mentioning this? Because these shoes offer the ultimate in protection. Once you put them on, you will feel the connection to your bike. Ultimate sticky pedals, solid steel toe. There is so much more. So grab a pair and start skiing! I mean mountain biking! Use the shoes for the ultimate flat grip with Specialized 2FO DH Flat Mountain Bike Shoes. It's a win-win!
The shape of the shoe is not well contoured to the foot. Left and right shoes seem to impose their shape on the foot rather than fitting comfortably.
Greta fit with plenty of support for peddling. Good protection for those dreaded rock monsters!
색도 이쁘고 착용감이 아주 굳입니다. 바닥이 쫀득하게 페달에 붙는듯 좋습니다.
Straight out of the box and from sliding the first shoe on the fit was perfect, instantly felt comfortable and the sticky sound as I walked around the house as they tried to cling to the floor was crazy! I am yet to ride in them, but as I just said to a friend I've never had an instant connection to a pair of riding shoes, these feel great! If you are on this page you've just found your next set of riding shoes - don't hesitate, just buy them!
En mi opinión sólo les falta un tirador para calzarlas. Por lo demás soportan cualquier condición: frío, calor, humedad,…
This shoe is well made and feels durable. On the first ride I noticed a difference in the way these just cling to the pedals and on downhill trails these make a big difference vs wearing Vans. Definitely recommend it, if you’re a serious rider.
Cómodas, se agarran muy al pedal, no transmiten los pinchos del pedal al pie
A Good Shoe.
I bought these to work with platform pedals, primarily because the flat sole promised good grip. The uppers are extremely stiff making the shoe difficult to put on/take off. But quality of materials and build is excellent. Decided to change pedals on the bike and returned these flats for the same pair with cleats (red sole). Same problem with stiffness of the synthetic uppers but, otherwise, I quite like the shoe for its intended use. Would be better with BOA closures.
Great fit to claimed, comfortable w/ bodyfit
Tiene buen agarre, son cómodas, rígidas pero no tanto, muy satisfecho.
Shoes are a little chunky but they're very comfortable.
Got a few rides on these. The quality of the shoe is next level. The grip is on a even higher level. Always impressed by the quality of specialized products. These were well thought out, and definitely grab a pair of your thinking about it.
Love the fit and the look. The grip is exactly what I was looking for.
Sizing runs a little small but acceptable. Solid shoe and grip.
True to size and super comfortable 👍 Quite a game changer for me.
Just got mine recently. Great for mountain biking but excellent on my gravel bike and around town biking. Good all over.
Great shoe
Sem dúvida a borracha mais aderente, não apenas equivalente, mas superior às marcas e modelos mais populares (tal como os pneus T9 - parece que a Specialized tem das melhores borrachas nos vários produtos). Testado com pedais OneUp alumínio. Sola rígida, muito confortáveis e construção aparentemente robusta (ainda com pouco uso).
The shoes were good looking and as expected but I returned them because I wanted a different style in the end for hotter climate. I would still recommend the shoe! The company was very helpful and processed the return quickly and without a problem.
Great feel, looks good, hope to enjoy for a long time!
Muy buena zapatilla,buena compra
El anterior modelo las tengo desde hace 5 años y las cambio porque la suela está bastante mal, lo demás está perfecto. Espero que las nuevas me den el mismo resultado.
I ride a stumpjumper expert on mostly blue and black diamond trails around Arizona...lots of flow, lots of chunk, lots of rocky trails climbing and DH. I ride Deity flat pedals, which are incredibly grippy. These shoes are not compatible with the pedals or the terrain I ride. They are too rigid and inflexible, and "blocky". Foot slips off pedal a lot, toe scrapes the ground frequently and they are not very forgiving. Perhaps they'd work better in a pure DH environment. unfortunately, i missed the return window, so I'm stuck with them. The stumpjumper on the other hand is an amazing bike!
Very grippy shoe with standard pedals
This shoe with the Varus wedge is a big deal, lines up your knee with the pedal, the shoe is comfortable shoes and look good, I have 400 miles on them.
Seem to be a very nice flat shoe. Soles are grippy. Order one size larger as stated by many on here, I took their advise and was happy with one size up.
Amazing shoe, my second pair. Fast delivery and super comfy
After a few rides I like the shoes. Good comfort and the seem to be holding up to the wear and tear. I think they look great.
Feel Great so far. Sturdy and great traction.
A little small
Comfortable mtb shoes
Tried several other brands, this one is perfect, comfortable well made and has a feature to align your foot properly with the pedal. I'm not sure how it works but it does.
It runs small. Order next size up
Comfortable and well-fitting.
These 2FO are great! I can’t believe how they grip platform pedals. Better than any other shoe I’ve used! I think they look a little weird on, when I look at my feet because of the “Body Geo”. But I got over that when I rode them. Very impressive overall
I've had a pair of these shoes for 2 years, wear them 3 or 4 times a week, and they still have lots of life in them. I have long pins in my XT flat pedals and these shoes just stick and never slip. They are so good I've just bought a second pair when they were on offer. Highly recommended.
They fit well. They aren’t quite is sticky as the FiveTen shoes I tried, but I prefer the fit of these. They don’t have an excessive raised section above the heel that usually digs into my Achilles’ tendon
Al comienzo un poco duros, pero ya pasó
Outstanding
Excelentes zapatillas, calzan muy bien, son de buen material, cómodas, ergonómicas, la punta es un poco dura para terrenos agresivos (punto a favor), tienen tecnología body geometry. Algo a tener en cuenta a la hora de comprarlas, deben pedir dos números más de su calzado normal, por ejm, si en su calzado normal de diario son número cuarenta en estas zapatillas deben pedir cuarenta y dos, si son cuarenta y uno deben pedir cuarenta y tres etc etc.
Supremely grippy, better than five ten in my opinion, so comfortable and robust shoe that’s now my favourite love the 2FO.
I switched from the five ten Freerider to these. Found more support, as good or better grip, laces allow quite a bit of adjustability. Could be a little wider, overall good shoe.
Son unos tenis muy cómodos, realmente en los senderos más agresivos te sientes más seguro y con la confianza de que estas protegido.
Solide, rigide et une semelle avec beaucoup de grip. Les chaussures les plus solides que j'ai eu jusqu'à maintenant
The soles seem at least as grippy as my usual flat shoes, and I prefer how these let less water in, and dry out super quick. Also like the stiff toe box area to protect the toes from rocks strikes. Cannot comment on longevity as of yet but so far so good!
These are really great shoes! It's the first pair of shoes that I've found match the grip of the benchmark flat pedal shoes (you know who that is). On top of that the overall construction of the shoes is excellent. Not spent enough time on them to give a definitive review, but if they hold up well I'd bump the review up by a star. Would recommend.
Forget all the rest. These are real DH sticky, firm support, stiff for hits and power. Once you wear these you will quickly realize all the 5 10 junk are just sneakers. A++++++
Great flat, second pair I’ve owned. Tried a different shoe but was too small in the toe box so went back to these.
Shoes looks good, but your size chart is not correct as I need to return your shoes already 2nd time as ordered size (according to your chart) is too small.
Got the shoes, stood on my bike, haven’t been able to step off in days. It’s great, please send help.
Build quality of this shoes is top notch. The toe bumper is substantial yet unobtrusive. The sole is stiff, but nothing like a carbon sole XC shoe. The materials all make sense from the grippy rubber outsole, to the perforated insole. The lacing comes down far enough to secure your whole foot including the toe box. The cleat pocket is also long enough to run cleats farther back. Worn in a variety of temperature and never noticed being too hot or cold. I wear these with Shimano Saint SPDs and the interface allows for movement with some detectable resistance. For how I like to ride this is the perfect pedal feel. I slot exactly between sizes and after trying both went with the larger size. These are a great complement to the recon 3.0s if you ride a variety of styles.
Well made for sure.
I like all the features. Great grip. Good protection, comfortable, the body geometry insoles are great for my neuroma.
The rubber feels as sticky and soft as the New freerider pros from 5ten but the 5tens do not have as firm as a sole anymore. For downhill I wanted a stiff shoe with lots of armor. This shoe seems to do armor better as well.. it runs smaller than your normal snows but almost true to size for most MTB shoes.
Great customer service! I’m not used to dealing with European sizes so I got the size wrong the first time but specialized was great and got me all taken care of on the right size! FYI 10.5 US size is a 44 EU size lol
i've had these for a couple months, all winter riding, often quite . as mentioned the outsole is incredible. i've had a number of 5.10's and these are as sticky or more with a firmer overall feel. the midsole has more structure than some shoes in a good way. the upper fabric is quite stiff. mostly this is fine, and i suspect they will break in more, especially as it gets sweaty out. minor gripes; i find the tongue a bit short, the laces a bit short. it's a fine line IMO with performance shoes, balancing comfort and riding performance. yes as mentioned these are a bit stiff, the materials a bit firm, but over a long ride, especially a damp one, there is something to be said for this kind of shoe in that it delivers a lot of support. i prefer a high end footbed and quality socks will go a long way to aiding comfort. i suspect these will be durable and soften up a bit, but time will tell.
From the first time I put my feet on the pedals they stayed in place. Was use to easily being able to move my feet around. Not anymore... they stick to the pedals so good I can pedal like I have cleats on. It's really helped on my pedaling going up hill. NEVER again will my feet slip off the pedals!!!
Comfort, soide, accroche. Que dire de plus, juste super satisfait de cette chaussure.

Good: These shoes should get five stars for the outsole alone. I have ridden flat shoes from basically every major brand, and these have the best grip, hands down. They are also responsively stiff, and the rubber wears extremely well. The fit guide is accurate, so trust it. Could be better: The tongue needs to be taller (it digs into the front of your foot), a lace cover would be nice for better security, and the shoe needs an ANKLE GAITER! I am constantly getting rocks and trail debris caught between my foot and the shoe collar. Not perfect overall, but I'll take the small shortcomings for this amazing rubber! These are still the best flat shoes I've owned to date.
I'm a female rider, and I'd worn Specialized clipless shoes for years. They were always comfortable and very durable. When I made the switch to flats some years ago, I went to Five Tens for their incredible grip. When I saw that Specialized was making a flat shoe, I had to try them, since the Five Tens fit wasn't perfect for my particular feet. I was super happy with the switch, since these fit great! I've worn a 39 in Specialized shoes my whole riding life, and that hasn't changed — meanwhile, Five Ten keeps changing their sizing - do I now fit in a 38 2/3 or 39 1/3??? and what the heck are those sizes? and even those doesn't seem consistent across all their shoes. With the Specialized shoe, the best part is the grip, which is fantastic; no loss that I can perceive compared to the Five Tens. Locked and loaded! Also, the sole is a bit stiffer, which is a welcome improvement - but not so stiff that you can't conform your foot to the pedal as needed. Great shoe, I'm a fan. I fully expect these to last several seasons, just like my old clipless shoes did. My only complaint is that I have the previous iteration of the shoe shown here, and it isn't winning any beauty contests, ha ha. :D But the performance is so excellent, I don't care. Plus the varus correction works well for my anatomy, so I am super pleased to be back in Specialized shoes.
The grip of these shoes is crazy good. As soon as I put my feet down on the pedals, they don't move, at all. They are also super durable and give you good toe protection. Highly recommend!
After trying and returning a pair of 510 Trailcross' for being too narrow, these came up and I'm very pleased with the fit. They grip the pedals extremely well, fit me true to size (47 for US size 13) and are very comfortable. I didn't find them overly wide, but just a *hair wider* than 'normal' shoes (to me these fit like Keen's hiking shoes in the toe box). The only improvement I recommend is to replace the stock insoles (which is not unusual, I do this on nearly all shoes because mfr's skimp on this). With new insoles for a little more arch support and more padding to help fill up some of the roominess, these are now a 10.
Very comfortable, true to size. Relaxed fit, good for a wide foot. The sole is very sticky, and shows almost no wear after many long technical rides.
I had the 2012 2FO and loved them. Then bought a pair of Giro Riddance II which SUCKED. Just got these and the performance is AWESOME. Great peddle grip and no foot fatigue. The sole has solid support unlike the Giro Riddance II. I give it a 4 star only because they look like my grand dads shoes. 43 fits like a 10.5
