S-Works Ares 2 Road Shoe - Wide

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"The S-Works Ares 2 delivers a ridiculous level of power transfer thanks to the FACT Powerline carbon sole. I race crits and road, and these are the stiffest shoes I’ve worn without sacrificing comfort. The internal heel lock and dual BOA system make the fit feel locked-in but never restrictive."

When every watt counts and podiums are on the line, we reach for the S-Works Ares 2. Designed by Specialized with direct feedback from the world’s fastest riders, this road shoe focuses on power, comfort, and precision. It's made to go fast, and feel fast—perfect for those of us chasing marginal gains during long training blocks and hard race days.

Specialized reimagined shoe structure with a no-tongue design that reduces pressure points, while the dual BOA Li2 dials create a finely tuned wrap across the foot. The FACT Powerline carbon sole—the brand’s stiffest—channels our every effort straight to the pedals. With a snug heel cup and Dyneema-reinforced upper, the Ares 2 keeps us locked in, light on our feet, and ready to sprint.
