Specialized’s Sport Road Shoe comes in at the lower end of a range which peaks with the S-Works Cavendish and S-Works Road shoes.

But it’s an effective shoe with a three-strap velcro closure, synthetic upper with mesh venting and reflective detailing on the heel.

Add to that a Body Geometry injection-moulded nylon composite sole and a footbed designed to optimise comfort you can see why the Sport Road shoe is a popular option.
