This is my third pair of these shoes. All different colours, I keep using all of them, nice to have a fresh set.

I was pretty excited to try these shoes after the good reviews. But once they arrived I knew they wouldn't fit my feet. I have small but wide feet and one foot has a bunion. They fit snug on my normal foot, but were super tight and uncomfortable on my foot with the bunion. Sadly, I had to return them. My rating is just somewhere in the middle since I don't really know how they perform on the bike.

I only have about 10 rides on these shoes so this is more of my initial feedback. The shoe has excellent comfort, I'm a size 10 (very standard foot) and no break in period was needed. The shoe offers solid pedal input nearly to the level of the old carbon sole cross country shoes I raced in but without all the walk around discomfort of those shoes. I have read other reviews about the sole lamination coming apart and I've had none of that (and hopefully don't as they wear.) I also love the double BOA, it allows very precise tension settings. I'm not over whelmed with the look of the shoe but I also didn't make the purchase as a fashion statement. I was looking for an enduro performance level shoe and so far these have met or exceeded all my expectations.

At this point, I believe that I have been riding these shoes for about 3 years and have nothing but good things to say. They've seen rain, mud, and every other condition, as well as held up to long, hot days in the sun. The shoes have interfaced well with various shimano, CB, and Time pedals. For anyone who worries about the boa dials, BOA has always done free replacement of dials if you just go to their website. Easy way to not only replace a broken dial, but also end up with some spare dials, just in case.

Like the shoes, Good fit, if a bit snug. After 6 months, two BOA closures failed. Alot of money for just 6 months of use. No word back from Specialized. :(

I purchased these shoes about 4 weeks ago to replaced another set of Specialized Shoes I wear now on a gravel bike. These shoes feel great on my mountain bike but the top Boa system is fraying where the cord is not allowing me to tighten the top Boa. So at this point after 2 rides I am back to the old shoes. I reached out to Specialized about 2 weeks ago to see if I can purchase a set to keep on hand but I did not receive any feedback. No big deal. I understand they are probably limited with staff but hopefully I can get some sort of idea on how to fix this so I can use them again.

For the past several years I have worn Rhyme's, but decided to give these a shot this time around. Functionally, they are very similar and I'm happy in that department. However, one kinda major knock for me is a lack of drain-ability when you do a water crossing which has you submerging your feet. These suckers hold water pretty badly and could use some sort of drain-ability built into them. If you have no concerns for water crossings, or are one of those that are happy to stop and take your shoes off before crossing, then no biggie. But if you're like me and you have frequent water crossings and want to just keep on trucking, you might consider a different shoe.

I thought I'd leave a review on my 2FO ClipLite shoes after looking down at them after a ride last night and noting how well they still work after three years of abuse. I'm amazed at their durability! Over the past 3 years, I've raced multiple enduros and trained in them as well. I estimate I've put 6K+ mi on these shoes and they keep on ticking. My shoes have been submerged in mud and water, hiked through snow, over slippery rocks, and they've done a great job of protecting my feet even after multiple rock strikes on the uppers, not to mention the soles. Even after three hard season the Boas still work great, velcro works perfect, and the seams have held. I will purchase another pair of 2FO ClipLite and I highly recommend this shoe if you're looking for something that'll last and look good doing so.

I have only worn them twice. They are very comfortable and really light compared to my old shoes. Highly recommended!

Have been wearing specialized shoes for 12 years, always a 42. Ordered these from Jenson in 42.5 because I read they are narrow. They are unbearable just sitting on the couch. Extremely narrow just behind the toes. Can't go up to 43, already too much space in the front with the 42.5. Total fail specialized! Returning them. Too bad because they look great and dual boa was why I bought them.

Pro: (1) BOA tension system is the best! Shoes are perfectly snug on my foot. Not too loose, not too tight. (2) Stiff enough to have good power transfer, but still enough flex for a little bit of walking. (3) Good amount of padding/protection without feeling clunky. Con: (1) tread is more like a street shoe than hiking boot. So if you hike-a-bike on loose terrain it may not have enough grip. (2) Shoes are narrow. I have wide feet and normally wear a size 9 or 9.5, so initially bought a 42.5. Length was good, but was very narrow. Had to size up a full size to 43.5, which was just wide enough without being too long.

I had to get a half size bigger than I usually get. I wear a US 10.5 and had to get the EU 45 (US 11). Love the fit and look perfect for my daily commute.

Prior to owning this shoe, I had a clipless Specialized shoe that I liked quite a bit, but when I found myself walking on the trail for any purpose (or, carrying my bike over anything I didn't want to huck,) the cleats were super unsteady. This shoe is the perfect balance of clippy, and sticky for those times when I want to dab or need to hike and don't want to feel like I'm tap dancing on the trail. A rad shoe for any rider.

I've been riding in Specialized shoes for over 10 years, these are by far the best shoes (I've actually owned 2 pairs) I've ever ridden in. They are stiff, I notice little to no flex, but extremely comfortable. They NEVER hurt on hike a bikes like my others (Pro, SWORKS Trail). Those shoes were great on the bike, but once you were off, they werent so great. These shoes get it done on and off the bike...I highly recommend for all disciplines (XC, Enduro, Downhill).

I have had these shoes for 3 years. I do about 700 mountain bike miles a year. The shoes have warn well and the fit is great. In nike shoes I ware a 9.5 and in specialized shoes 43.5. These shoes are not that for hiking around in. Stiff sole and look great. I did have a problem with the boa but boa's warranty is amazing and sent me the parts I needed to get going again.

I've only had them for several weeks. A very comfortable shoe for walking around in. I only use them on my road bike tho. Without the usual lugs on the sole, they might not have the desired traction when in rough terrain. The dual BOA adjustment works great and you only have to turn the knobs to tighten or loosen. No pulling out the knob just to release the BOA. Easily adjustable on the fly. They stay on well without having to overtighten, and that keeps them from being so tight as to cut off blood flow. I've had mostly Shimano shoes and a few others over the years, but after getting these I'll stick with them and Specialized shoes in the future. While they look kinda cool and different, they are a bit thick looking. A friend commented that they look like something Frankenstein would wear. To bad because they're the most comfortable shoes I've ever owned.

These are very comfortable and functional. True to the size.

This shoe is great; it's very comfortable and light weight. I have tried others but can truly say this is the one!

My go-to-shoe for all things dirt! Like most of us these days, I ride for fun and don't race bikes anymore. These shoes have kept my feet pedaling happily. The fit is a perfect balance of a spacious toe box but snug with the unlimited adjustability of the 2 boa dials. I tend to shoot a lot of photography while riding with friends and these are great for walking around in while off the bike.

From the moment I received them and put them on my feet I knew I had made the right choice. These fit like a glove and stay that way. Best shoes I've ever had.

great MTB shoes, better than i imagine, i bought size 16, maybe 16/1/2 fits better, but it's ok! congrts specialized, i'll return to buy, soon!

I love the way this shoe fits and the BOA system. This shoe feels great and is going to be my go to for the next pair of shoes I'll need. It is worth the money and more so if you can get them on sale. Give them a try and you'll see how good they are.

MY previous set of Cliplites I'd run for 2 + years. They've been all over the US, Canada, and even Nepal. The tread had finally started to break off, so another pair was a natural replacement 4,000 miles later. Love these shoes, and the new color options. They are a secure fit, great combo of stiffness and walkability​.

The fit is slightly small but when on the bike it works great. The boa system is dialed in perfectly. Easy on and off. Super light and durable. Really pleased with this shoe. Only gripe is the rubber really does not compare to five ten, sorry, that is just the truth. I'm coming from the kestrel. Two pairs actually. The soles of the five tens kept tearing off from the whole shank. Specialized somehow nailed it with this shoe. Xc race, enduro or downhill. Suits everyone. The Velcro strap is basically for looks and I agree, it looks better than empty space. Also the upturned toe construction takes a bit to get used to and the benefits are something I've never thought of but really work!

I've been wearing these shoes for almost a year and could not be happier with them. I was a little wary when I first put them on that they would take some breaking in, but from the first ride they were really comfortable. There's a lot of slick, pointy limestone on my home trails which tear shoes up during creek crossings and hike a bike sections, but these are holding up better than any other pair of shoes I've worn in the past. When off the bike, they feel stable and comfortable walking and are not overly heavy light a lot of trail shoes.

Super stoked on these shoes. Right out the box I threw some blue Specialized insoles in them(I use the blues on all my shoes) and the fit was great. Sole is super tacky, I have only used with flat pedals so far, and have been really happy. Very stiff too, excellent power transfer. Boa cranks seem well placed, I haven't noticed any hot spots. Highly recommend!
