The Specialized 2FO Roost are for you especially if you are a Trail biker. Because the construction that Specialized has made in this shoe uses, first of all, its Body Geometry Fit technology. They fit your foot completely. But this version of the Specialized 2FO Roost includes a few more features.

For example, a varus angle support and a plantar arch support, so that the platform itself is totally uniform. This means more control. It also reinforces the metatarsal area to make it more comfortable.

On the sole, they are once again relying on SlipNot rubber, which is one of the most advanced technologies, so it is understandable that what works is not touched. SlipNot is a special compound with incredible grip. This is called safety, therefore giving the rider a feeling of greater control.

The design is very clean. Reinforcement in toe and thicker heel, and otherwise only micro-perforated parallel bands. Tied with a lace and have an EVA foam midsole to increase comfort and better absorb each impact. But don't just think about tearing them up, because they look great to wear too.

They weigh 367 grams each (with slight variations depending on the cleat) and are available from size 40 to 46.
