Shoes: Specialized BG Sport



Review submitted by: Paul Murphy

Gear type: Shoes

Brand(s): Specialized

Model: BG Sport

Price paid: €81

Where purchased: Cycleways

How long in use: 1 week

Pros: I wore them on a 7 hour spin first day I had them and only experienced some rubbing on my heal and a slight discomfort on the ball of my foot (however I was boghopping at the time).

They are comfortable, and you don't really notice them, which is great for a shoe. They look good too...

Cons: Cons: They leak like a sieve - absolutly zero water protection - I am going to have to get some sealskin socks at the weekend as these shoes will not be of any use in the winter otherwise.

Am a bit weary of the velcro straps - but they will be tested over time. One of the cleats shifted backwards over their first use - I will monitor this to see if it reoccurs..

I've used these for 2 years - very comfortable - though you'd need over shoes in the winter to stay warm in them. Velcro still fine - no cracks or rips etc.
