Specialized Sport MTB Shoe in Rocket Red
Thanks to its great performance features and a fair price, the Specialized Sport MTB shoe is one of the most popular mountain bike shoes. It is not only light, but also robust and has three Velcro® Velcro® fasteners and a sole that offers good support even on sliding sections.
The body geometry outsole and the footbed are ergonomically designed and medically tested. A clean vertical pedaling motion is favoured, which increases performance and well-being and prevents injuries.
The shoe is equipped with a mid-rigid composite sole with a rubber profile that provides good grip for sure-footedness off-road and efficiency when pedaling. The stiffness index is 6.0. standard fit combines direct power transmission and high comfort when pedaling and running.
Three angled Velcro fasteners ensure an even, firm and comfortable fit of the shoe. The hard-wearing synthetic material is equipped with mesh ventilation. With the Body Geometry footbed and the forefoot wedges the shoe can be adapted individually.
The shoe is equipped with a two-screw perforation, suitable for all common MTB pedal systems.

Body Geometry Technology
For the driver, the Specialized shoes combine unbeatable performance and more noticeable advantages. According to a study by the University of Manchester (GB),"even the slightest mistake in the alignment of the lower limbs can lead to knee and hip problems - and, more importantly, even cost performance". Specialized therefore conducts bicycle-specific investigations and analyses. The aim is to avoid problems and imbalances in the forefoot area during the entire pedal movement.
In the course of this research work, it turned out that a correction measure such as Specializeds Varus-Keil leads to a performance increase of 3 to 10%. Body Geometry is a proven technology that helps increase speed, efficiency and comfort. So it's no coincidence that more than 150 Pro Tour athletes ride Specialized shoes with BG technology.
Body geometry Varus wedge
By nature, the human foot is slightly bent for walking and running. When pedaling, this angular position can lead to a rotational movement of the knee, shin and/or foot which causes the arch of the foot to collapse. Drive efficiency may be impaired and knee pain may occur. Specialized integrates a Varus wedge into the outsole of the body geometry shoes to prevent pain. The foot is raised inside by 1.5mm. Foot, knee and hip are thus better aligned to each other, resulting in greater efficiency and comfort.
Body Geometry Midfoot Support and High Peformance Footbeds
A shoe that is too tight compresses nerves and arteries between the long metatarsal bones, which can cause foot burning or numbness in the forefoot. The BG metatarsal support in Specializeds BG High Performance footbeds lifts and spreads the metatarsal bones and counteracts this.
