Finding the perfect high-performance pair of off-road shoes can be tough going but with the S-Works Recon shoes we've made the choice simple. Exceptional power transfer? Check. Gram-counter approved? Check. Undeniable style? You got it. With the S-Works Recon shoes you get off-road shoes that ready for any kind of adventure whether it's gravel cyclocross or XC racing.

We took a no-holds-barred approach to transferring every bit of your power to the pedals. The sole utilizes a rubber toe and heel for superior off-the-bike traction while the pontoons are made of a harder TPU to provide excellent stability and power transfer to the pedal. A completely refined Padlock Heel meanwhile packs in more comfort with the same exceptional heel hold that you found in the previous iteration. And finally the space-grade Dyneema material used in the upper doesn't stretch when pulled on making sure that your foot stays where it's supposed to. With all of these features combined you can be sure that we've kept in line with the motto "every watt is sacred."

In the comfort arena we kept all of the Body Geometry features you know and love like the Longitudinal Arch Varus Wedge and Metatarsal Button. Each one of these features have been ergonomically designed and scientifically tested to not only boost power but also to increase efficiency and reduce the risk of injury. We also took luxury into account by designing the S-Works Recon to have form that complements its function so you'll find seams that are bonded together rather than sewn cleaning up the lines and contouring to your foot with slipper-like comfort. The custom CNC'd alloy Boa® dials add some panache but they also feature durable spring clutch internals and precise one-millimetre micro-adjustments that let you perfectly dial-in your fit.

The S-Works Recon embodies everything we know about footwear compacted into one shoe with no compromises no shortcuts just explosive speed and superior comfort.
