{"product_id":"specialized-s-works-ares-road-shoes-1734538","title":"Specialized S-Works Ares Road Shoes","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhen the finish line is a blur and every watt counts, the Specialized S-Works Ares changes the geometry of your sprint. By ditching the traditional tongue in favor of a sock-like fit, these shoes create a seamless connection between foot and pedal, effectively locking you into the bike the moment you stomp on the cranks. The FACT Powerline carbon plate is impossibly stiff, channeling every ounce of output directly into the drivetrain without a hint of flex. What sets this design apart is the proprietary closure system; it cradles the forefoot with a massive surface area, eradicating the hot spots and movement that plague long days in the saddle. Reinforced with Dyneema mesh, the upper remains stubbornly stable, ensuring that when you rock the bike to initiate a climb or carve through a technical descent, your foot remains planted. Wrapped in a design that prioritizes biological alignment through Body Geometry, this gear isn't just about raw speed—it’s about sustaining that high-cadence efficiency long after the peloton has thinned out.  \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePRODUCT CONDITION\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"UnNewText\"\u003eThis UnNew \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan id=\"displayNameDesc\"\u003eSpecialized S-Works Ares Road Shoes\u003c\/span\u003e is in \u003cspan class=\"condition\"\u003eExcellent\u003c\/span\u003e condition.  \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"conditionText\"\u003eProducts in Excellent condition have seen minimal use and wear.
