Specialized shoes are considered to up there with the best, if not the best. They're hard to beat not just because they've been worn by multiple world champions and Grand Tour stage winners, but also because they have a reputation for being supremely comfortable for the everyday rider too.

This is down to Specialized's Body Geometry, a concept that started out with saddles and which it has since applied to all the contact points. Specialized takes a wholly scientific approach with cycling shoes, recognising firstly that the human foot was designed for walking, not pedalling, so it worked with the Boulder Center for Sports Medicine to solve all the problems that arose with traditional cycling shoes.
