Junk shoes

Bought my shoes in April. I didn’t ride all of June due to a surgery. It’s early September & the eyelets for the shoe laces are ripping out and the leather is tearing. At the laces. Didn’t even get 1 season out of them. I get they’re $50 but I don’t think Specialized would manufacture this kind of trash even for $50.

Great Shoes

Love the shoes, I've been using them for just general riding. These are great for commuting and riding around town. They are easy to walk in, I wish the clips were a little deeper to keep them from grinding on the floor, but overall very few issues/complaints.

Had to send first pair back because they were a half size too small, even after ordering the size I thought was generous based on the “runs small” reviews. I would say runs very small. If you are a size 11.5-12 men’s US, order at least 12.5

Great casual shoe for lots

Great casual shoe for lots of applications. I use them primarily to commute and to do rides with my family when I don't want to be kitted in out in race gear. They're comfortable to walk in, though I wish they had just a couple mm more of tread on them for walking without fear of scraping the cleat on the floor. Still, they're fine for a quick trip to the store or a beer stop after the ride with buds. The tread material is grabby in a good way and would do great with flat pedals. I use them with spds and they work well. They're not very stiff compared to a race shoe, but they're good looking enough to not look dorky when walking to your office after the commute. Size is spot on for my feet; very consistent with other 44 sizes.

Runs small and narrow.

Well built. But, narrow in the toe box and tight on top of the instep. Even with the insoles taken out. The heel cup is fine, but can be a little tight when the front gets caught up when trying to get the foot in. I got the 43.5 EU/10.25 US size, which should be roomy enough considering that I usually wear a 9-1/2 to 10-1/2, depending on the last the shoe was made on. I am seeing if they will stretch without the wear and tear off a shoe stretcher, but I may have to do so. I do like the foam inner last. But the ability to adjust mounting angle of the cleats is limited is a bit frustrating, too.

Feels great but looks ugly

I got these shoes just because my other clip in shoes are not confortable for walking in the Rocky Mountain trails. I used them twice so far and they feel great as expected, however it looks kind of funny, like if they were on the wrong feet. Awesome shoe but look wrong like if I had done issue with my feet. I still using by older pair because of it and can’t returned it since I used it in the dirty mountains.

Pretty good. These accommodate my wide-ish feet. My only criticism is the uppers are pretty stiff and don't conform to my feet readily. This makes it tough to cinch down the laces for a snug fit, but maybe I just need to break them in. These meet my expectations and seem like a suitable replacement for the poor quality Adidas (five Ten is dead to me) Freeriders I'm coming from. Still searching for the perfect lace-up shoe, though.

The tongue of the shoe

The tongue of the shoe is a bit thick for my liking which does make the shoe feel small even though it is not. It fits great everywhere else. Very nice looking shoe though. Really wears like a normal shoe and barely notice the cleat. Could be worn as a regular shoe even in a business casual setting if you wanted to.

Good fit, "comfortable enough" to walk around on all day without blistering, attachment feels solid in the pedal. It does not hold to the foot as tightly as a purpose-built bike shoe, you're trading some efficiency for the casual shoe look/build. Over all good compromise between regular shoe and bike shoe. You'll click walking on tile but this is a good stealth shoe for dates or whatever.

I like these a lot

I like these a lot so far and stoked I own them. A little heel lift happens when walking, and if you try to tighten laces to resolve the heel lift it cuts circulation off a little when riding. Otherwise a fantastic shoe: great looks, really good performance for trail/all-mountain, and the cleat makes minimal contact when walking on floors. I've ridden them in dust/heat and in wet/mud and they were not too hot and didn't let water in.

All great except pinky toe protection.

I love this shoe in all areas except toe protection. The thicker toebox plastic/rubber ends before your pinky toe location, so I've had quite a few painful interactions with my pinky toe and a stick/rock/stump. I'm actually worried enough about my pinky toes that it's making me think about getting a shoe from a different brand that extends the toebox protection down past where your pinky toe resides. I haven't had this happen with other shoes so I'll probably look elsewhere with my next purchase unless the toe box gets modified as indicated. Otherwise I love the shoe (fit, performance, look, etc.) I'm just concerned about my little piggy's safety!

Roost

Very surprised by the fit that required a full size up from my other Specialized shoes, Rekon Race and Rekon Lace. The fit was very comfortable once I got the correct size. My only complaint is the cleat doesn’t sit low enough so will scratch the floor when walking and walking my singlespeed up a steep trail will cause the cleat to wear out prematurely.

Hands down the best MTB shoe I've owned

The 2F0 Roost Clip is by far the most comfortable MTB trail shoe I have ridden in. Stiff and with great transfer of power, it looks great and is also much LIGHTER than other trail shoes I have worn. I've power washed mine when muddy and they look early as good with 1000 miles on them as they did new.

Look good feel good but a few issuses for everyday use

I bought these a couple months ago and was very excited for them. They arrived in a timely manner also the fit was just as I expected. I have another pair of specialized Mtb shoes that I use for dedicated trail use and got the same size as those. The main reason I got these was for an everyday shoe to wear for work so I don't have to switch shoes after my commute . I'll start out by saying I dig the way these shoes look. Most people just think they are a normal shoes. The power transfer and stiffness are really good as well. Unfortunately the cleated don't sit deep enough to keep them from making noise on hard surfaces. The other problem I had with them was cleaning them. I got mud on them and still haven't been able to get it off. Overall I would say if you are using these as only a Mtb and don't plan on wearing them for long periods off of the bike they are great. But if you plan on using them as I did maybe try something else to avoid the tap shoe sounds.

Eh

I had these backordered from back from October and have had them now for 2 months. I've had many pairs of mtb shoes from Specialized including a few pairs of Rimes and the 2fo Cliplight which was da bomb! It needed more grip which the Roost has but was otherwise perfect for fit, protection, and stiffness. The Roost lacks fit which could be resolved with Boas. It also needs more protection for enduro applications . The new DH Roost (so much for pre-ordering the Roost) likely solves the protection issues but not the fit. Bring back the cliplight 2fo and add the new bottom grip!
