Dyneema material at the top of the shoes while making the shoes extremely light, it lacks structural support. The front part of the shoes (where the toes at) collapses, quite unsightly.

Run small compared to other Specialized shoes. And material at toe ripples

Fantastic cycle shoes. Second pair and could not be happier.

This shoe is so soft it is like wearing second skin. This is my second pair because they have been so wonderful.

Lightweight shoe. Single BOA does not give as much adjustment capabilities as the (2) BOA models. Stiff sole.

Great super lightweight shoe but keeping the stiffness. Fantastic power transfer! Great ventilation and airflow so works perfectly in hot climates.

Good shoe overall, but I haven't really tested it yet, as I have been wearing with booties. The shoes are tight at the top of the foot and loose down by the toes, so it takes some getting used to. The bottom plate is big and very stable, which is nice.

Great Shoes

I liked the shoe tried two sizes did not fit properly

I absolutely love these!!! Very lightweight and comfortable.

Light shoe. I wear a size 10-1/2 US shoe and the 45 fits perfect. I don't have many miles on them yet, but looking forward to it.

Super lightweight very good shoe

My fifth pair of S-Works shoes, and by far the best. They are the most comfortable, and yes, they are incredibly light.

Much more comfortable than thought would be. Rear heel pull tab weak and will pull / tear easily so be careful trying to pull on with the heel tab.

Great shoes! They feel like gloves.

Well these shoes feel amazing. Not as good as my torches, amazing show by the way, due to the lack of foot support compared to the torches but pretty close. For the price I paid I would buy them again.

Very light and comfortable

Feels like a feather when worn . Like second skin. The wheel thingy is precise where I need it to snug my feet . I need a cleat cover so that I can walk around and not damage it. I have them hooked on my ultegra carbon fiber clipless. It is made of dyneema which I am expecting that this should afford long lasting mileage. I am a 38 in these. But in regular USA sizing I'm a 7.5 in shoes. They have stretched out a tad since I have worn them so I'm pretty sure it's a keeper

Feather light and great fit with the BOA.

The shoe was light and vented. The only thing that bothered me was the top of the heel cup was made of a plastic material and no padding. The sizing did not workout for me with this shoe but i feel like that part would have rubbed. Overall comfortable and nice wide toe deck.

Haven't ridden in the new shoes yet, but purchased the same shoes as my wife who loves them. The first pair I ordered were just a little too small so I returned them for a larger size. Customer service was great: credited first order and received the new shoes shortly there after. Customer service is huge when buying online so that coupled with the quality product made it easy to rate as "Great"

Shoes are incredibly light. Runs small /narrow. I have had to use shoe expander to make it a little wider and more comfortable. Looks good -- would highly recommend if it was a bit more comfortable. Will work best for folks whose feet are narrow.

I have always used Sidi 6.6 Mega due to my USA 11.5 Wide feet, Sales person brought out 11.5, though claims 11.75/45.5?? They are tight, but figured over some time they would stretch out, which they have, though still a little snug, Heal fit is great, no slipping!! Issues: The ball of the feet do get sore depending on what I’m doing and the pressure I’m exerting and I’m using their “blue” insoles. I think it’s due to the material loss in this area where they put the screens? I did have an issue with the upper material at the front lifting away from the lower on my kick out foot!!!! Not even a year old!!! Would like to see TWO Boas!! It loosen ups to where I have to retighten two/three times a ride!! Though this shoe has small issues, it is a great shoe to ride in. I did go back to my Sidi and really dislike it now.

I did a lot of research to understand if this would be a good shoe for me. Like the 13 stiffness, stiff, but not too stiff. I like the light weight and slipper like feel. It does run a bit small when putting on because I have high arches. So I use a shoe horn to get them on. Once on they are very comfortable.

Excellent shoe. I originally bought to use on my trainer, but they are so light, that I wear them on my fast outside rides. Excellent product for warm weather. I probably won’t wear them outside in winter.

Good power transfer pushing and pulling. Very light. Feels secure over the bumps. Super thin material hasn’t taken any major hits in 1k miles but I did get them slightly muddy and it rinsed right off. I like how I can loosen the Boa a couple clicks as my feet swell and just pull to release when ride is over. I’m happy with these

It’s a little small

Yes a comfortable shoe.

Great product would definitely buy again

very comfortable

Light and great!

I bought these shoes for riding in Tucson, AZ - since my feet swell in the heat and I wanted a light, cool shoe. They are very comfortable and totally have met my criteria. Normally I wear a women’s size 8 or Euro 40 but I bought Euro 41 and they feel a little big- making me wish there was a 40.5 available when I bought mine.

I kinda get what Specialized tried to do with this shoe, but it didn’t work out for me. My initial thoughts were very positive, the shoe “looks” and feels extremely light. However, wearing this particular shoe felt like wearing a tarp. The shoe upper is extremely thin, it’s made out of tarp’ish material and the only rigid part is the tongue, this makes the shoe feel very weak and fit awkwardly because the tongue moves side to side. Giving that it only had one boa system meant that any other extra adjustments besides the normal, would hurt and put unnecessary pressure at the instep. Based on price point I don’t think this is a 400+ shoe, because it wouldn’t last, it will literally tear and fall apart with the slightest scratch from chainrings to falls, etc… Don’t buy this shoe unless you are going to use it for indoor cycling.

Did not care for the shoe didn’t have the support I am used to

Excellent product, better than expected

A very light shoe , but could do with more arch support, I look forward to seeing the durability of the shoe considering how light it is, which is why I purchased it

The good: Stupid light - shaving 130 grams off my already-light SWorks road shoes (older generation). Very comfortable, like wearing socks. The bad: You are definitely not as locked-in as with more conventional shoes. Particularly, when pulling up, there is some give. The location of the cutouts in the sole is somewhat odd - in the furthest-back position, the outside rear corner of the cleat is "free-floating" with nothing above it to support it (I'm using TIME cleats/pedals). More of an issue when walking than pedaling perhaps, but I'm a bit concerned about the cleat failing over time without any support. The ugly: I had to spend half an hour to file down the screws that come with my cleats to avoid them poking into the inside of the shoe. For a $400 shoe, Spesh could include 20 cents worth of screws that fit! Skip the useless shoe bag if you want to save cost. Also, I could do without them plastering a tacky, oversize S-Works logo over everything.

Well made shoe. Fits a bit narrow and small

Have worn these for a year and couldn't be happier. They are light as heck and make no sacrifices.

They can stop making bikes and just run with these shoes! The TL/DR is hot feet = must buy. I had been pining over these as a way to deal with hot days and hotter feet, and my dear wife treated me to them as a gift. They're as stiff as my Shot-Carbons - but for hot day riding there is no comparison. There is so much room in the toe box; they breathe incredibly well; no hot points from seams; and I don't know that I'll ever ride any shoes that are lighter. Best of all, they were bone-dry by time I drove home from our ride meet-up. My other shoes can take an overnight. The only ding I could find would be that the tongue started to rub at about mile-50 when I use no-show socks. My Sidis do the same - more a critique on wearing no-shows than the shoes.

I love the feel of the shoe, very light and the thin material seems to find a good fit, but the part close to the stitching is way too tight, wish there was a wide sizing or higher volume available. Actually I think that expensive shoes should be custom made for individual clients.

I have 3 pairs of these shoes and absolutely love them! They are the lightest bike shoe I have ever worn which translates to comfort for hours and hours while riding. And, the style is pretty terrific too!

Was concerned that these would run small as I wear a 15-sneaker but they are true to size in the 49

Only one ride to date but I really like them so far. They feel quite responsive and I think the light weight may actually make a difference but a little too early to say for sure.

My old bike shoes are able 15 years old. They still worked so I had a hard time buying new ones, even though my toes went numb and I've superglued the straps a few times. These are simply amazing out of the box, and even more so once on your feet. I had doubts about the single BOA working for my narrow, high arched feet, but they feel super comfortable and supportive. I might add insoles for extra arch support, but these hug my feet. I just got back from my normal hilly 20 mile ride and averaged more than 1 mph faster. Some might just be stoke, but it really felt like I was getting more power out of every pedal stroke. Totally worth it.

amazing shoe. I have never felt such a comfortable shoe. I have flat and wide feet and this is just amazing (the regular size, not the wide version).

Great shoes. Light, great fit and they seem very durable. They haven't been with me all summer but so far all is great. With this shoe I seem to slip into my pedals perfectly. Very easy on the feet on long rides. Wonderful airflow for the summer.

I honestly thought they would be flimsy and not that great once I received them. I was way off. They are great and comfortable! Definitely would buy another pair if ever needed.

True to fit and perfect for wide forefoot and high arch. Sole has cut outs that do not seem to sacrifice stiffness. Lots of room in the toe box and although heel cup is not reinforced, it offers a secure grip when worn. Initial concern about the single Boa went away after the first ride. Padded tongue allows you to really tighten down without pinching or arch discomfort. The upper materials are very light, strong and I'm hoping durable. Price a bit high but this is a GREAT shoe and you are paying for some cutting edge technology. You can't get any lighter and there is no road shoe like it.

Great fit, exactly as advertised. I have a narrow heel and wider forefoot, and the fit takes care of both issues better than any shoe I've owned. There is no slip at the heel, and the toes never feel cramped. The stiffness of the sole is apparent from the first ride. And they are crazy light: I ride Speedplay pedals, and even with the 3 hole adapter, they are much lighter than my previous speedplay specific shoes. At $500, you should expect exceptional performance, and so far these deliver. I know from previous experience with Dyneema that it is as strong or stronger than Kelvar but far more resistant to abrasion (flexing when dirty is enough to weaken Kevlar), so there shoukd be long-lasting. Well done.

My foot is very wide in front, average width in back with a very high arch. I have a pair of custom D2s and second-hand pairs of DMTs (size 45 with a size 47 toe box paired with a size 43 heal). I got my DMTs from a retired pro and they were my best fitting shoes, before the Exos, better than the custom D2s. I use all of these shoes with custom Rocket 7 carbon insoles - so I can't comment on the included insoles that don't seem to offer much support especially for someone with high arches. The Exos is now my favorite shoe - even with the stretchy toebox, I cut a small hole over my right small toe bunion - after a couple of months the hole has not enlarged and the shoe is still in good condition. I like these shoes so much that I bought a second pair (same size 45) and they fit slightly better - haven't felt the need to cut hole yet. Initially, I was interested in the lightweight but now I'm even more impressed with the overall fit and function. I use these with an aluminum Speedplay adaptor plate so I can place my cleat about 2 cm behind the standard position.

I bought these shoes back in June of 2019 and unfortunately this September (2019) I found a rip on a seam one day. The rip was right where the bottom of the shoe meets the Dyneema material and it was the white material that ripped. I have not crashed while wearing these shoes, but something sharp must have grazed them while riding I guess. I also found that I would need to tighten down the BOA extremely tight in order for the shoe to fit. If the BOA was not tight, my foot would slide around in the shoe. I think it's a great concept of shoe! Lightweight, easy to slip on and off, but maybe the single BOA design and flexible heal cup could be improved.

The S-Works EXOS Road Shoes are the lightweight shoes you've always dreamed of. Perfect race shoe for the warmer SoCal conditions and fits like a second skin. I'd recommend these to anyone looking to maximize power transfer and take their shoe game to the next level.

I am a 69 year old cyclist with terrible foot problems. For years I have struggled with foot pain regardless of the cycling shoes I tried. Usually an hour into my ride and my feet hurt so bad (corns, pressure points, etc.) that I would have to almost stop pedaling to relieve the pain. Cycling was not fun and I struggled through my rides. Then I found Exos. Problem solved. Foot pain is gone. Corns don't hurt and no pressure pain. Like riding in ballet slippers. I bought a second pair I love them. Thank you Specialized and Bobs Bikes in Birmingham Alabama.

I highly recommend these shoes they are absolutely the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn. I have a wide foot and have no issue there either, and I actually feel like you're wearing slippers yet they're are stiffer than my bonts

Skeptical - have a very wide EEE forefoot and very high arch. Have been riding custom made extra wide shoes for many years. Only used for 1 week but feel great - better than my completely custom shoes. Will still need to cut a hole to prevent my toe from rubbing but have done that on all my other shoes.

Light, stiff, comfortable . True to size. Might not be a winter shoe but great right now.

A fantastic iteration of an extremely lightweight purpose driven shoe. Made for warmer temperatures when lightweight and minimal material is at its most desirable. The feel is more like a slipper than a standard cycling shoe which may feel weird at first, but once you start pedaling you forget you preconceptions and simply appreciate that the power transfer is the same as always coupled with the shedding of a lot of weight.

Great shoe! How convenient is the BOA for putting on & taking shoes off. The ""Dyneema"" is terrific material. The shoe is flexible enough for my ""old"" feet. Thank you!

Most awesome shoe I've owned. Feather light, comfortable, ease of use, cool look!

These things are absolutely mind blowing! Super good hold and feels like a second skin. I'm not sure why but I feel so much faster when I wear these. Same feeling I get when I go racing in a skinsuit.
