Like the name implies, the Specialized 2FO Flat 1.0 Bike Shoes are designed for riders who use flat pedals, and provide a comfortable, all-day riding shoe with a stylish flair to boot. This shoe is all about the outsole, with a SlipNot 2.0 rubber compound that is soft, grippy and provides the ultimate in shoe to pedal connection. The lug pattern on the sole of the shoe is engineered specifically to integrate with the small pins that stick up on flat pedals, for extra traction and pedal purchase. Inside the shoe, an internal bootie provides improved comfort and support, with ergonomic footbeds helping aid in comfort, and proper knee, hip and foot alignment. Captured foam on the upper portion of the shoe protects the foot from impacts, while an EVA cushioned midsole is sealed with a protective skin for support and tear resistance. The shoe laces up like a standard sneaker, but offers Lacelock elastic laces to keep them from going into your chain ring. These shoes look as good on the bike as they do off it, so you can casually sport these around town as an everyday shoe too if you so desire. For great looks, performance and comfort for flat pedal specific shoes, it's tough to beat the Specialized 2FO Flat 1.0 Bike Shoes.
