What makes the perfect cycling shoe? Is it exceptional power transfer? Superior Comfort? Undeniable style? The simple answer is yes to all of the above. With the S-Works 7 you get a shoe with no compromises. We took a no holds barred approach to transferring every bit of your power to the pedals. The lighter & stiffer Powerline™ carbon sole is new & brought to you by the same team that developed Rider-First Engineering. Whys this special? Because it led to our lightest & stiffest carbon outsole to date. A completely refined Padlock™ Heel meanwhile packs in more comfort with the same exceptional heel hold that you found in the previous iteration. & finally the space-grade Dyneema™ material used in the upper doesn’t stretch when pulled on making sure that your foot stays where it’s supposed to. With these all features combined you can be sure that we’ve kept in line with the motto “every watt is sacred.” In the comfort arena we kept all of the Body Geometry features you know & love like the Longitudinal Arch Varus Wedge & Metatarsal Button. Each one of these features have been ergonomically designed & scientifically tested to not only boost power but also to increase efficiency & reduce the risk of injury. We also took luxury into account by designing the S-Works 7 to have form that complements its function so youll find seams that are bonded together rather than sewn cleaning up the lines & contouring to your foot with slipper-like comfort. The custom CNC’d alloy BOA dials also add some panache but they also feature durable spring clutch internals & precise one-millimeter micro-adjustments that let you perfectly dial in your fit. The S-Works 7 embodies everything we know about footwear compacted into one shoe–no compromises no shortcuts just explosive speed & superior comfort. Body Geometry sole & footbed are ergonomically designed & scientifically tested to boost power increase efficiency & reduce the chance of injury by optimizing hip knee & foot alignment.

Independent alloy BOA S3-Snap dials for on-the-fly micro-adjustment backed by the BOA Lifetime guarantee.
