It is very important to have the correct footwear for the bike you are riding and to suit the type of riding you will be doing. Specialized shoes provide top quality and unrivalled technical design, and they have a range of cycling shoes to suit all abilities.
There is no excuse not to invest in a pair of Specialized shoes, as there is a great range available to provide something for all types of cycling, from the mountain trail to the tarmac, as well as all budgets.
A great pair of cycling shoes that are high in performance but low in cost is the Specialized BG Comp MTB 2009 mountain bike cycling shoes. They are a pro-inspired fit and feature Body Geometry ergonomics.
The shoes also feature a new low profile and lighter weight M-lock SL buckle for secure closure, a lightweight nylon sole with sturdy co-moulded lugs for off-the-bike traction, hard moulded toe kick protector and an engineered Micromatrix upper that is light, durable and supple fitting, with welded reinforcement in high wear panels.
The shoe also has performance-enhancing BG contours in the outsole and footbed and a 2-bolt SPD-style cleat pattern, compatible with all major MTB pedals.
For a waterproof and lightly insulated pair of cycling shoes the Specialized BG Defroster 2009 is a fantastic choice. It is waterproof and has a seam-sealed upper with 2-strap Velcro closure that locks out moisture.
The toe area uses a light-insulating layer for added warmth and a thermal fleece-lined BG footbed uses a reflective metallic barrier to trap heat around the foot.
The shoes have a snug fitting collar that forms a gusset to lock out moisture and a lightweight nylon sole with sturdy co-moulded lugs for traction. The design also features performance-enhancing BG contours in the outsole and footbed, is compatible with all major MTB pedals and has a reflective heel accent for visibility on dark training rides
