TheSpecialized 2FO Flat 2.0 MTB Shoes was made to get you from the top of the run to the bottom as comfortably and efficiently as possible. Its outsole features the SlipNot™ 2.0 rubber compound, which was developed as a system to create the best pedal connection possible. Contrary to popular belief, pedal connection isn’t just about rubber—the rubber hardness, stickiness, lug pattern, midsole thickness, and density all contribute to this connection.The sole construction, informed by a pressure mapping study, led Specialized to use softer foam in the forefoot with firm-over-soft foam in the rear, giving incredible pin penetration, while also reducing the “standing on a marshmallow” feeling that causes foot cramps on long downhills. Along with the new sole, they\'ve also implemented a toe bumper and a captured foam layer, providing protection from rocks and roots when the trail gets gnarly.Specialized 2FO Flat 2.0 MTB Shoes FeaturesBody Geometry sole construction and footbeds are ergonomically designed and scientifically tested to boost power, increase efficiency, and reduce the chance of injury by optimizing hip, knee, and foot alignment.SlipNot™ 2.0 rubber compound is our softest, grippiest rubber, and it\'s optimized for the ultimate in pedal connectionThe engineered lug pattern was specifically designed to integrate with pedal pins.Dual-density midsole adapts to the pedal, protects the foot, and results in superb pedal control.Captured foam in the upper protects the foot from impacts.Air mesh on the tongue and uppers provides protection, while quickly shedding water weight.Smooth, thermobonded upper for lightweight durability and a snag-free profile.Cushioned EVA foam midsole is sealed with protective skin for support and tear resistance.Lacelock™ elastic keeps laces out of the chainrings.Relaxed Fit for a balance of pedal feel and off-the-bike comfort.Approximate weight: 347g (1/2 pair, Size 42)
