Decent shoes!
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
I measured my foot 100 times and used the Specialized fit guide and the sizing was right. I'm an 11 in Nike and ended up with a 44.5. Super comfy shoes. Easy to walk in the forefoot bends nicely. The Boa adjusts back and forth which is nice. Only slight negative is that it isn't a carbon sole so if you do stomp on the pedals you can feel the shoes flex. But, that is as described. I was wearing all carbon shoes prior so it was a little surprising. May go to the Recon 3.0 eventually but for now these are nice and comfy.
