Just because winning an XC World Cup isn’t on your to-do list, doesn’t mean you don’t value performance and comfort. Recon 2.0 is your shoe. Inspired by S-Works Recon, with Body Geometry comfort and efficiency, Recon 2.0 puts all that performance within easy reach.

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. We’ve also lifted the heel for an even more natural feeling while walking.

To create traction off the bike in wet or dry, gravel or dirt, we’ve covered the nylon outsole with our SlipNot compound. If the traction's needed in the wet, you can also rest easy knowing the XPEL mesh used through the Recon 2.0 won’t get bogged down with water and will dry exceptionally quickly. No more wet shoes the morning after a wet ride.

An L6-Snap Boa and a Velcro forefoot closure ensure micro-adjustable comfort with a secure 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.

  • Body Geometry sole and footbed are built with purpose and backed by science to boost power, increase efficiency, and reduce the chance of injury by optimizing hip, knee, and foot alignment.

  • Injection STRIDE toe-flex technology allows for natural toe movement off-bike but remains stiff for pedaling: Stiffness index 6.0

  • Welded upper reduces seams for superior step-in comfort.

  • BOA® L6-Snap dials for on-the-fly micro-adjustment.

  • SlipNot™ rubber tread for confident traction on all terrain.

  • Two-bolt cleat pattern fits all major MTB pedals.

  • Approximate weight: 357g (1/2 pair, Size 42)

Not so sturdy and Boa is not fantastic either

I had the recons 1.0 for almost 2 years; those were sturdy and comfy. When they neared their end of life, I upgraded to 2.0. When I got my first pair of 2.0, the top toe rubber delaminated shortly after. A replacement was sent immediately. After a couple of months, it happens again. Also, the outer material does not seem to be too sturdy, getting some cuts. Finally, the Boa system isn’t the best when having only one dial because the wire is not distributing tightness equally. I prefer then the three velcro straps of the 1.0 version.

Great shoe but struggled with sizing

Great shoe but struggled with sizing. I really wanted to love these but the size 45 were too long resulting in the tongue pressuring the front of my ankle. And the 45.5 were too tight on my feet. Even after test riding, Specialized gave me a hassle free return with full refund. Great customer service.

Weird fit

I wear a 44 in all my other bike shoes and went to a store to try these on but now after i ridden in them a bunch of times the fit is not what I had hopped for. They seem a little big on the sides even if I fiddle with the boa as it has just one the tension is not perfect. My foot big toe go numb after a while and I have to loosen them off for a bit to get the blood flowing then tighten them back up all while I'm riding. Might be selling these since I'm pretty sure since I bought them off the web site they won't take returns. One comment is they really don't fit true to size one 44 is not like the other (brand that is).

Pretty good shoe

I have only owned specialized shoes for 3 very good reasons; Quality of construction, fit and durability. However….these need done fettling when you get clipped in. Having only one tensioner means the centre part of the shoe does not tension the same as the top of the foot. It’s not a biggg but you might need to retention once you are clipped in. The Velcro strap is pretty redundant as there is hardly any material that it can snug up on my feet. They are a definite try before you but kind of shoe. But if they last half the time I owned the predecessor (7 years) at 1/2 price they are a good buy.’

Best pair of shoes to date! I love the fit and comfort, not to mention their good looks! I use these shoes for gravel and road…but wouldn’t hesitate to click in on my mountain bike either.

20years riding Specialized MTB shoes.

I’ve worn Specialized shoes for near 20years so the decision to upgrade to the Recon 2.0 was easy. The fit for these is softer leather than the previous iteration meaning there really hasn’t been any break in period. I’ve been doing regular 20 mile rides in these since attaching my cleats. I’m a fan of this shoe for power transfer to the pedals and comfort on short hike a bike sections. No toe spikes on these and something I wish they had but honestly haven’t really slipped in them so I’m happy with them.

Comfortable shoes that are a little on the wide side

Let me begin by saying that I think Specialized has changed their last; I have a pair of S-Works shoes that are probably 10 years old and fit like a glove. These however do not. For reference, I wear a 45 in Specialized shoes (46 in Sidi) and have narrow feet with high arches and use the green Specialized inserts in all of my cycling shoes. Earlier this year I bought a pair of Recon 3.0 shoes and while they're not as narrow as my old S-Works shoes, with the green insert, they fit very well; given that I decided to buy these, the Recon 2.0s as well and from my perspective, while a good shoe, the lack of second Boa lace really makes a difference in the fit. I find the shoe to be a touch wider even with the green inserts. They're not so wide as to be too big but wide enough to be roomy. That said, they are well made, comfortable and ventilate reasonably well; I just think they're made for riders with wider feel, if that's you, these will be a very good option for you.

disappointing

I purchased these to replace my 2010 BG sport MTB shoes which gave me so many years of good service so my expectations of these was quite high. After 300km and three weeks of use my feet are bruised around the toe area, mainly because the boa system simply cannot give an equal amount of tension, so i ended up having the velcro strap at the front quite loose because the boa tension even done up tightly is simply not enough, its the only way to ensure there are no hot spots. I also experienced blisters for the first time in 20 years of cycling. I have noticed that other shoes have two boa adjustments and i think this may be a better way to go. Apart from that they do look good and are easy to walk in. They also look like they will last. Overall thoughI am disappointed by these shoes, i expect better from Specialized.

Odd shoe

I've been riding these shoes for about 3 or 4 weeks just trying to find some sort of comfort. You can feel the pedal through the shoe when you get out of the saddle. My feet go numb after 20 minutes unless i loosen them completely, in which case defeats the purpose of these shoes. The boa is atrocious, 3 velcro straps would be an upgrade. I even went back to the store to buy the upgraded insoles for my arches and it made the numbness worse. I've had many brands of shoes and specialized always had a reputation for good shoes and saddles, but these just miss the mark completely.

Failed in the first week.

My first week of owning the Specialized Recon 2.0 mtb shoes involved riding Phoenix and Sedona MTB trails. By the end of the week the left shoe had a hole in the outside toe box from abrasion and the right shoe had partial thickness tears on the outside. Specialized offered me 35% off the purchase of a new pair. While I like the fit, BOA system, and traction they didn't hold up to mountain biking on rocky trails. I have had Sidi shoes last several years of hard use.

Perfect for me

I have both these and the Recon 1.0. I ride a gravel bike and these are perfect for my rides. I like them both but these feel like they are more breathable due to the upper ventilation holes. I did have to go up one size in the 2.0. It feels like it runs a little small. And the upper is much stiffer on this model than the 1.0. The firmness of the outsole is perfect for me, just like the 1.0. I also love the look and style of these shoes compared to others.

Close but No.

The Shoe fits my square-ish feet well due to its wider toe box. Construction overall is good with the exception of the tongue. In an attempt to make it breathable, there is stitched internal portion on the tongue and the extra stitching rubs the top of my feet causing deep red marks after a ride. The stitching is not visible but if you pinch the tongue, it will be noticeable. The tongue is also long so it puts pressure at the top bend of the foot. Because the overall fit was good, these nuances did not show up until after rides. I like the BOA system but I would look at the double Boa for my next shoe because the figure eight style does not always slide smoothly and then you end up trying to pull it with your fingers.

Boa strap fail and heel tearing.

The black outer coating on my boa straps wore off after repeated use. Now it just randomly and quite often loosens up while riding or walking. It doesn’t grip like it should because the inner diameter is smaller. The heels of both shoes have blown out and all the comfy cushioning is falling out now. The Velcro strap is pointless. Other than that they are comfy, good grip sole and decent toe box. I’d try another pair if on sale but I’d rather go with laces moving forward.

Great shoe, except for people with low insteps.

Excellent shoe, but after the first few rides, I realized the medial (inside) Boa loop comes up too high and gouges some into my ankle/foot just above my insteps, which are very low. I know you can't design for every single rider's foot, but people like me sometimes have issues with Boa/other systems that are placed too high up in the opening and impinge on our ankles. These seem to have an asymmetrical opening with the inside wrapping around more. Please consider this in future designs! The Recon ADV or 1.0 shoes will probably fit better as they have a more symmetrical opening, but am bummed about having to buy a new pair.

2 Steps Back Versus the Expert XC

The Recon 2's are very uncomfortable. While the footbed has more flex than my previous shoes (Specialized Expert XC), it also creates a crease all the way across the top of your foot. It's incredibly uncomfortable. I also found that the tongue kept slipping down the front of the shoes even though I was only walking in them. The shoe's shape is very boxy, not form-fitting at all. As others have mentioned, the velcro strap on the front part of the shoe is almost useless. Unfortunately, I never took these on a bike ride, so I can't comment on how the level 6 stiffness feels on the bike. Try these on before you purchase them. It sounds like many people have been pleased with them. I can't stand them. 2 stars because the olive green color is excellent, and the tread on the sole looks much improved over the Expert XC. Specialized also has a great return policy.

Muy buenas zapatillas de mtb,

Muy buenas zapatillas de mtb, buenos materiales y acabados, el ajuste de rueda para la sujeción es preciso y rápido. Son cómodos para pedalear, sujetan muy bien el pie, también si tienes que caminar son cómodas, porque la subida era más dura de lo que pensabas. Producto muy recomendable +1. La entrega del producto ha sido muy rápida, es resumen muy buena transacción.

Presque parfaites

Je suis plus un cycliste sur route donc je n'ai pas trop d’expérience sur ce genre de produit. Je les trouve presque parfaites. La couleur est top, tout comme le confort. Le sizing est bon, mais nécessiterait un réglage supplémentaire. En effet, il manque un deuxième serrage BOA sur le bas de la chaussure, car du coup elles paraissent un peut trop détendues au niveau des orteils. Si non, très bon produit.
