S-Works EXOS EVO Mountain Bike Shoe

Tout simplement merveilleux !

Obviously incredibly light but also absolutely amazingly comfortable. What I found a little annoying is that a shoe horn is required to get them on due to the supplness of the rear of the shoe. This isn’t disastrous and could manage without but I’d highly recommend not using the little tab by the heel to pull them on with. Actually this part of the shoe is superfluous and serves no practical purpose. Overall best shoe I’ve ever owned and well worth the spend.

These shoes are very light, and Specialized has made a lot of tradeoffs to achieve that. There's almost no structure to them (especially the heel) and I find them pretty annoying to get on. As many reviewers have mentioned, the heel pulls rip off almost immediately. The boas are also lightweight and don't operate as smoothly as the regular ones in my experience. I always feel like they are going to break, but with almost daily use I haven't had any issues yet (knock on wood). So in general, this shoe's usability is sub par. However, I have wide feet and find the toebox on this shoe accommodates the widest part of my foot very well. I tried a few different shoe models (including a couple wide shoes from other brands) and found these most comfortable on long rides, so I'm kind of dealing with all the stuff I don't like... including the cost. Would I prefer a $200 shoe that's a little heavier that fits just as well? Yeah. Have I found that yet? Nope.

Splurged and shelled out the bucks for these shoes, in the hopes of avoiding the pressure on toes and other points on my feet that other shoes have historically caused. The upper is made of a material almost like rubbery thin canvas. On my first ride, the shoes proved to be extremely comfortable, like nothing else I have tried. That flexible upper is just great. Also the easiest bike shoes I have ever walked in. So, bottom line, very innovative shoes and so far working great. The only downside I found is that they are hot (that rubbery upper does not seem to breathe). Full disclosure I live in Texas, so maybe not an issue in cooler climes, but after a couple of hours riding here the shoes were full of sweat. They got a good first ride baptism.

tengo las sworks modelo 2020 en color blanco y en color rojo y los tacos de goma se gastan con mucha facilidad y no se pueden sustituir.

These shoes are amazing. Very light, good air flow. On the negative side, they are wildly expensive. This is how I justified it, maybe it'll work for you you too. SKU boots are twice as expensive, and you still buy those, right? So, indulge, you'll be happy you did.

Looks like I'm not the only one with this issue... Ripped the heel strap clean off when putting the shoe on for the very first ride. And it's not like I was tugging on it any more than what's reasonable. I mean I was literally just using one finger and a thumb for goodness sake. Aside from that, these are probably the most comfortable MTB shoes that I have owned, and I am willing to live with the broken heel strap. But please Specialized, please come up with a more robust solution.

I have both the EXOS road shoe and the EXOS MTB shoe. I didn't get them because of weight. I got them because, for my feet, they are the most comfortable with no pressure points. The joint on my little toe is pressured in most shoes and starts killing me after a couple of hours. And I have tried lots of brands- Shimano, Bont, Lake, Giro. Wide and regular widths. And they all hurt my toe. Shimano were the worst because they all appear to have a seam directly above my toe joint. The S works 7 shoes fit ok in the toe but they rub against my ankle bone and the upper are really stiff. The EXOS solve all those problems for me. Wearing them is like wearing slippers. And, for me at least, they are plenty stiff and have plenty of heel hold. These are the most comfortable (and expensive) shoes that I have ever had.

Der Schuh mit dem geringen Gewicht im MTB oder Gravelbereich ist sicherlich einzigartig. Die Kraftübertragung ist auf Top Niveau. Bei einem Schuh in dieser Preislage erwarte ich jedoch, dass alle Komponenten auf Top Niveau sind. Die Laschen die beim Anziehen des Schuhs helfen sollen, sind bereits nach einer Woche angerissen und beim nächsten Verwenden reißen sie komplett. Dieses ist für mich nicht akzeptabel und hier erwarte ich eindeutig mehr. Ich überlege sie zurück zu geben.

Amazing shoes, but just not wide enough platform to hold my foot comfortably. Pull out the footbed and put your foot on it. They just need to be wider and I would buy no other shoe but these. Maybe good for soccer players that had their feet bound in cleats growing up.

Der Beste Schuh den ich je hatte. Exzellente Passform, mann spürt ihn fast gar nicht am Fuß, perfekte Passform, super Kraftübertragung auf dem Pedal. 246g in Größe 45. Einziger Kritikpunkt: Die Laschen zur Hilfe beim anziehen sind sehr empfindlich. Hatte eine beim ersten Anziehen gleich abgerissen...und damit es gleichmäßig ausschaut die zweite dann abgeschnitten und noch etwas Gewicht gespart.;)

Hola. Tengo las anteriores S Works y aunque estoy encantado con la zapatilla, tengo que decir que para el precio que tienen no hay posibilidad de cambiar los laterales de goma que lleva la suela que se desgastan con mucha facilidad. De echo en las mías ya no existen. En otros modelos se pueden quitar y sustituir, pero en estas, están sellados. Una pena y un area mejora.

Echoing other review, really great shoe, heel pull ripped, returned and ordered one size up and seems to be fine. Change the heel pull spesh and its a game changer

It is such a comfortable shoe that I can firmly tighten and ride for hours without foot hot spots. Not to mention it is the lightest MTB shoe. However the pull tab on the heel is too weak to be useful. Mine was torn apart at the first time I attempted to wear the shoe, which happened even before I mounted cleats on it. I'd recommend the shoe, but with the caveat of not using the pull tab. I wish the pull tab can be strengthened with tougher materials, or just be removed completely to save even more grams!
