Specialized offer aftermarket &#8220;Body Geometry&#8221; footbeds with varying levels of arch support. Personally I have high arches and quite enjoyed the stock footbeds just fine though.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mtb-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/IMC_0337.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-260185\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mtb-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/IMC_0337.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1067\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mtb-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/IMC_0337.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/www.mtb-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/IMC_0337-750x500.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.mtb-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/IMC_0337-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>A look at the underside of the footbed. Probably not what you&#8217;d expect to see, although I must say the support and comfort is really, really good.<\/p>\n<h3>On the trail<\/h3>\n<p>Starting with sizing, the 44.5 EU that I tested, which roughly translates to a 10.5 US, fit spot on without any weird quirks. The toe box is on the roomy side and the heel is on the snugger side. This is ideal for keeping things in place while still leaving room for blood flow. The weight didn&#8217;t really seem like a factor &#8211; at 860 grams they don&#8217;t <em>feel<\/em> all that heavy, particularly for a DH rated shoe. Compared to the new 2FO Roost, this shoe definitely is quite a bit more substantial and offers more protection and a more solid feel. The shank is quite stiff, so the power transfer and support is there, but it doesn&#8217;t come at the expense of walkability. The cuff around the ankle was familiar &#8211; quite similar to the last version, with nice padding and good support. I could see how some may want a mid-top shoe for DH racing due to the added protection, but for a low top shoe these are about as good as it gets.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mtb-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/IMC_0240.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-260098\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mtb-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/IMC_0240.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1067\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mtb-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/IMC_0240.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/www.mtb-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/IMC_0240-750x500.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.mtb-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/IMC_0240-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The first thing that struck me was that there was almost no rubber on the outsole contacting the surface of my pedals. This was not the case with past Specialized models and made for a slightly floatier feeling, which lead me to tighten my pedal tension a bit. This certainly isn&#8217;t a bad thing as it means less premature wear of the sole, but it&#8217;s worth mentioning. Anyhow, The range in adjustment on offer from the cleat slots is massive and the ridges make it very easy to line them up straight and with the same placement side to side. I prefer my cleats quite a ways back but had room to go further back from where I settled, so these should nicely accommodate most every rider&#8217;s preferences.<\/p>\n<h3>Overall<\/h3>\n<p>It&#8217;s a bit early to make any long term calls on durability, but for what it&#8217;s worth I just checked off year two of frequent use on this shoe&#8217;s predecessor with no issues thus far. In contrast, the new 2FO DH is just a bit more refined and polished all around. The new materials feel less bulky and rubbery, without giving much of anything up in the way of protection. Their updated cleat interface has been improved all around and like the last version they dry out really quickly, but I feel that they also breathe a bit better now as well. The new footbed is definitely a step up, with great padding and contour and just like the last version the laces are great, only now at a better length. All in all, the new 2FO DH will make a great shoe for bike park days, enduro or DH racing.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.specialized.com\">www.specialized.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It wasn&#8217;t all that long ago that I first stepped into a set of new mid duty flat pedal shoes from Specialized dubbed the 2FO Roost.
