Got approx £200 pounds to spend on some road shoes.
I have been looking a good reviews on the Specialized S-Works or anyone have advice on other makes that would fit the bill?.
Cheers.

For that you can pick up some Sidi Ergo Carbon Lite's, love mine.0

I've just bought a pair of Giro Trans road shoes off Chain Reaction, got £70 off as well which was a bonus. Wore them today for the first time, absolutely excellent. Great fit and very comfortable, pretty lightweight as well.0

I bought some shimano R075 shoes for 70 quid a couple of years ago, cant think of any gains of buying more expensive shoes, they are very stiff + you could pocket the change to spend on something else! :P
I think the R075 have been discontinued, I believe they are now the R076 or R07710 mile TT pb - 20:56 R10/17
25 - 53:07 R25/7

I just bought some Specialized Expert shoes, cost £150 and I'm really liking them so far. I previously had Mavic Avenirs but the fit was too narrow.
The BOA system on Spesh shoes is good, seems to give a really even tension across the shoe.0 -
Try 'em all on! For that cash, you'll want them to be pretty perfect.
I've heard a lot of good things about sidis...0 -
Whichever ones fit you better is the only answer I can give. I found shimano a little narrow, I have some specialized ones now and bought the blue footbeds and they are very comfy and wider than shimano.
Try a few different makes and models on then choose.0 -
I think you should ignore the reviews and go and try some on. I bought some road shoes recently and none of the specialized or the Shimano shoes were a good fit. In the end only the Sidi Ergo 2 shoes with Specialized BG red insoles fitted properly. More than I wanted to spend, but worth it to get a good fit.
IMO, you shouldn't go into the shop with preconceived ideas about what shoe to get, just get the ones that fit.0 -
neh. to all above you get the ones that are stylish and colour coordinated to all your other kit. Fit is a secondary consideration .constantly reavalueating the situation and altering the perceived parameters accordingly0
