New S-Works Exos shoes
Moderator: robbosmans
Yes, I'm very happy with the lack of weight and comfort of these shoes. I had Sidis prior to the Exos. I see that Sidi has started to reduce the weight on their latest offerings. This is my first pair of Specialized shoes. My experiences with the Exos prove that these are not race-day only shoes. Btw I wear my Exos in the winter with shoe covers. I don't feel thay lack insulation/warmth over my Sidis.

Sorry...7000 miles not 7000 kilometres (brain fart).
Very WHITE & Very LIGHT!

Question for the guys who have s works 7 and these shoes. Did you stay with the same size / are they a similar fit? Cheers
Have both. Usr same size. In the end sell off the sworks 7 since they become pretty much redundant. The exos are a lot more comfortable and lighter feeling and this is coming from someone who thinks the sworks7 is already a gold standard for performance cycling shoes.

Same here. I have the s-works 7 and the Exos as well. I am staying already one week on Gran Canaria Island and had enough time to test my Exos on long days in the saddle with step climbs and even in different weather conditions. Wet and cold in the mountains, almost hot near the coast. These shoes are a dream. Absolutely no pain - even in the colder conditions I don`t feel worse than in stronger cycling shoes. I am using the same size for both.ichobi wrote: ↑Fri Jan 10, 2020 4:30 pmHave both. Usr same size. In the end sell off the sworks 7 since they become pretty much redundant.

What happened to your exos?

There's a wide version of the Exos now (if you visit the Asian side of the specialized website). I am going to get them maybe next month or so, will see if they fit.

It's just the usual specialized website; when I access it from Singapore where I reside, there's the regular/wide option available.

I had a pair of 99s, Exos, and SW7s. Out of all of those I prefer the SW7s. The Exos feel great and are insanely light, but I had concerns about the sole durability (specifically the toe portion) and comfort. For me the single BOA put too much pressure on the side/top of my foot. The SW7s feel more comfortable and durable. All of that being said, I only had them on for about two months, I ended up crashing and ruining the shoes unfortunately.

Need help. Choosing between sizes 45 and 45.5.
How I should feel the area of metatarsal heads? 45 felt a bit lower than 45.5. Pressure on lateral (outside) arch is more concentrated in front of the arch in size 45.
Are there any visual cues to determine the distance from my longest toe to front of the shoe? Like tip od "S" on S-Works 7. In size 45 my big (longest) toe ends by 1.5 mm in front of textured part of forefoot. In size 45.5 the big toe ends exactly there textured part pf forefoot.
The stock insoles will be replaced with Solestar Custom. Solestar is slightly thicker than stock insoles.
