Specialized S-Works Vent EVO shoes

The S-Works Vent EVO’s ventilated mesh panels are windows to speed and comfort

The S-Works Vent EVO fits more feet for more comfort across more surfaces. These shoes were also designed to adapt to a broad range of foot profiles with an all-new last shape and innovative material combinations. The engineered mesh and Dyneema® panels work in concert to keep the shoe moving with your foot without restriction. Like Body Geometry sole and footbed technology, scientifically tested to increase power and efficiency while reducing the chance of injury by optimizing hip, knee, and foot alignment; and stiffest and lightest FACT Powerline™ carbon plate to maximize responsiveness and power transfer. The Vented Mouthport toe box pulls air in through the front of the shoe and channels it around your feet, while the entirely new engineered mesh upper and tongue let that air flow freely throughout the shoe—aiding in both cooling and sweat evaporation. Along with the engineered mesh in the upper, we added a layer of Dyneema® Mesh to keep a strong hold of your foot, ensuring pro-proven power transfer.
For power transfer, PadLock™ heel construction cradles the heel to ensure optimal power transfer. In fact, it’s been scientifically-proven to improve acceleration.

Body Geometry technology

Body Geometry trio of the Longitudinal Arch, Metatarsal Button, and Varus Wedge work together to increase efficiency, optimize hip, knee, and foot alignment, and reduce injury risks.

Varus Wedge
With a 1.5mm built-in Varus Wedge, Body Geometry shoes stabilize the natural movement of your forefoot and improve foot, knee, and hip alignment, which increases power output and adds an average of 10 seconds to your time to exhaustion during maximum efforts.

Longitudinal Arch
The foot is built like a leaf spring. Great for running. Bad for riding. Body Geometry shoes are designed with patented, molded arch support in the outsole to create a rigid structure, which is paired with customizable footbeds to prevent foot collapse and increase power.

Metatarsal Button
Ready to banish hot spots and numbness from your ride? By lifting and separating the bones of the forefoot, Metatarsal Button prevents impinging and compressing nearby nerves and arteries, so you can say goodbye to the foot issues that used to plague riders.
