Specialized Releases $550 S-Works Recon EVO XC Shoe
@Korbi777: Just because you don't know what the cost of making a shoe like this is, doesn't mean it's not worth what it's being sold for. The shoes you're buying to just kick around with have a higher profit margin than s-works shoes do.

Specialized Releases $550 S-Works Recon EVO XC Shoe
They make some of the best clipless shoes in all of the industry, so much so that for the last decade or so there are a lot of TdF riders who will actually race in debadged Spec shoes and as soon as their race is over they switch to sponsor appropriate footwear.

Drift Shoes Launches with the ARC Sneaker
@eldenring: The sewing done on the toe bumper of a 5.10 Hellcat is just a bandaid on a cheaper manufacturing method. Yes it helps a little with stopping the delam of the excessive toe bumper that is molded into the outsole, but because the outsole/ toe bumper was molded without following the 3d shape of the last on that shoe (cheaper that way) it's more susceptible to delam. That same level of protection can be achieved a lot of other ways for those shoes.

Drift Shoes Launches with the ARC Sneaker
How the hell you think high end carbon plated shoes have their plate stuck on? Or running shoes, or almost all hiking and mountaineering boots (sans Lowa) have their sole unit's stuck on.
