Had some issues with my VumaQuad so I ordered this last week, 53/39, 175mm, glossy

But it really doesn't count since I reluctantly had to cancel the order today ... was looking forward to it.

£260 - I've wanted the plain s-works since they were in prototype form almost 2 years ago, so I had to have them! I got the guy in the store to throw in a pair of extra insoles with them - more for my other Specialized '74 shoes as I've been having knee problems of late.

Funny that Cav himself doesn't wear that exact pair, but a kind of an upgraded one with more instep support :

How can you tell that from that photo? 1. He has his leg up and his foot rotated out 2. He might be using custom footbeds that offer higher arch support than the Specialized ones offer.

Look at the top of the shoe, looks like a wide bit of "leather" or whatever material they use instead of just the boa wires.

Sorry, didn't mean "arch" but "instep".

I have been using my Giro Ionos on both the road and the mtb but wanted to get something more trail specific and found the POC Trabec MIPS verison on sale. I really like the fit and I like the look of it too
