Highlights of the S-Works Ares 2  With over 100,000 foot scans and over 2000 hours of ride testing, the scientifically proven Body Geometry Last now features a wider toe box to allow a more natural and comfortable splay of the toes and has led to significantly reduced forefoot pressure. The BG Last follows the natural shape of the foot and gives a harmonious blend of power, efficiency, and comfort. The Specialized Ares 2 still features the innovative Body Geometry and ergonomics of the original Ares, including Varus Wedge, Metatarsal Button and Longitudinal Arch in the outsole, delivering exceptional pedalling comfort.  Updates include improvements to the forefoot lockdown zone, a patented triangulated closure system that increases contact surface by 20% and gives the 'locked-in' feel needed when you're surging ahead of the pack or pushing big watts on steep bergs. An enlarged heel counter also provides extra foot stabilisation and the supple upper gives a truly connected feel to your bike. When every watt counts and you want an edge on the competition, the Ares 2 shoes come into their own.  All You Need To Know About the Specialized Ares 2 Pedal Compatibility These cycling shoes are compatible with road pedal systems utilising the 3-bolt cleat system such as Shimano SPD SL, Look Keo/Blade, Time Atac etc...  Sizing note  Specialized road shoes run approximately half a size small.
