While it\u2019s considered a \u201cgravel\u201d shoe, the ADV seems like a great option for anyone spending long days on the bike while needing a shoe that\u2019s comfortable walking around off of it. Whether that means endurance gravel events, bikepacking, or just out exploring all day, the Recon ADV should be up to the task. <\/p>\n<p>Unlike the BOA-equipped S-Works Recon SL, the Recon ADV relies on classic shoe laces. While not as quick to put on or take off, the laces offer a lightweight, adjustable closure that is easily repairable wherever you are. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignfull size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Specialized-Recon-ADV-Adventure-Gravel-bike-shoe-7.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"1067\" src=\"https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Specialized-Recon-ADV-Adventure-Gravel-bike-shoe-7-800x1067.jpg\" alt=\"Specialized Recon ADV insole\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-320392\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Specialized-Recon-ADV-Adventure-Gravel-bike-shoe-7-800x1067.jpg 800w, https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Specialized-Recon-ADV-Adventure-Gravel-bike-shoe-7-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Specialized-Recon-ADV-Adventure-Gravel-bike-shoe-7-90x120.jpg 90w, https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Specialized-Recon-ADV-Adventure-Gravel-bike-shoe-7-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Specialized-Recon-ADV-Adventure-Gravel-bike-shoe-7-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Specialized-Recon-ADV-Adventure-Gravel-bike-shoe-7.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"\/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"1067\" src=\"https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Specialized-Recon-ADV-Adventure-Gravel-bike-shoe-7-800x1067.jpg\" alt=\"Specialized Recon ADV insole\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-320392\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Specialized-Recon-ADV-Adventure-Gravel-bike-shoe-7-800x1067.jpg 800w, https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Specialized-Recon-ADV-Adventure-Gravel-bike-shoe-7-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Specialized-Recon-ADV-Adventure-Gravel-bike-shoe-7-90x120.jpg 90w, https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Specialized-Recon-ADV-Adventure-Gravel-bike-shoe-7-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Specialized-Recon-ADV-Adventure-Gravel-bike-shoe-7-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Specialized-Recon-ADV-Adventure-Gravel-bike-shoe-7.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"\/><\/noscript><\/a><\/figure>\n<h2 id=\"h-fit\">Fit<\/h2>\n<p><span class=\"ezoic-autoinsert-video ezoic-mid_content\"\/><!-- ezoic_video_placeholder-mid_content-640x360-999996-clearholder --><!-- ezoic_video_placeholder-mid_content-640x360-999996-nonexxxclearxxxblock --><!-- ezoic_video_placeholder-mid_content-426x240-999996-clearholder --><!-- ezoic_video_placeholder-mid_content-426x240-999996-nonexxxclearxxxblock --><!-- ezoic_video_placeholder-mid_content-384x216-999996-clearholder --><!-- ezoic_video_placeholder-mid_content-384x216-999996-nonexxxclearxxxblock --><\/p>\n<p>Hidden amongst the Recon ADV are fit details pulled from years of Body Geometry development. The unassuming insole includes longitudinal arch support, a metatarsal button, and the shoe integrates a varus wedge to keep your feet in the best position while pedaling. There is also substantial (but soft) shaping around the inside of the heel cup to help keep your heel in place. <\/p>\n<p>Sizing seems to be right on the money as I\u2019m most often a size 41.5, and this pair of 41.5s fit great. Even for someone with fairly wide feet, I found these to have plenty of room in the toebox to be comfortable. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignfull size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Specialized-Recon-ADV-Adventure-Gravel-bike-shoe-1-1.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" src=\"https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Specialized-Recon-ADV-Adventure-Gravel-bike-shoe-1-1.jpg\" alt=\"Specialized Recon ADV actual weight\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-320379\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Specialized-Recon-ADV-Adventure-Gravel-bike-shoe-1-1.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Specialized-Recon-ADV-Adventure-Gravel-bike-shoe-1-1-297x198.jpg 297w, https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Specialized-Recon-ADV-Adventure-Gravel-bike-shoe-1-1-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Specialized-Recon-ADV-Adventure-Gravel-bike-shoe-1-1-120x80.jpg 120w, https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Specialized-Recon-ADV-Adventure-Gravel-bike-shoe-1-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Specialized-Recon-ADV-Adventure-Gravel-bike-shoe-1-1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Specialized-Recon-ADV-Adventure-Gravel-bike-shoe-1-1-720x480.jpg 720w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\"\/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" src=\"https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Specialized-Recon-ADV-Adventure-Gravel-bike-shoe-1-1.jpg\" alt=\"Specialized Recon ADV actual weight\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-320379\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Specialized-Recon-ADV-Adventure-Gravel-bike-shoe-1-1.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Specialized-Recon-ADV-Adventure-Gravel-bike-shoe-1-1-297x198.jpg 297w, https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Specialized-Recon-ADV-Adventure-Gravel-bike-shoe-1-1-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Specialized-Recon-ADV-Adventure-Gravel-bike-shoe-1-1-120x80.jpg 120w, https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Specialized-Recon-ADV-Adventure-Gravel-bike-shoe-1-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Specialized-Recon-ADV-Adventure-Gravel-bike-shoe-1-1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Specialized-Recon-ADV-Adventure-Gravel-bike-shoe-1-1-720x480.jpg 720w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\"\/><\/noscript><\/a><\/figure>\n<h2 id=\"h-specialized-recon-adv-actual-weight\">Specialized Recon ADV Actual Weight<\/h2>\n<p>Speaking of weight, the Recon ADV is fairly impressive at 303 g per shoe (size 41.5) when compared with the S-Work Recon SL.

In addition, the tread pontoons on the toe are raised from the cleat pocket, which allows the shoe to sort of rock forward when walking, before ever flexing the toe. <\/p>\n<p>That tread is also extremely grippy thanks to the Greater SlipNot rubber tread. I appreciate how the rubber flows from the front of the shoe to the heel, which gives you a grippy spot under your arch if you miss a pedal, or have to scramble to keep moving without being clipped in. You won\u2019t find any replaceable parts or optional toe spikes here, but that\u2019s part of what makes them lighter and more affordable. <\/p>\n<p><span class=\"ezoic-autoinsert-video
