Look at the Bont shoes. I have a dedicated road shoe and tri shoe, vapor S and the zero

The new Sworks 7 have a lot more cleat movement permitted. I just went from the 2011 to the latest ones and fortunately I was getting bike fitted at the time as it wasn't as simple as measuring the sole to get the cleat in the correct position.

So feel free to look at other options, but check the latest S-works if you get on with them. If you're wide footed and went up a size to be able to fit in the old ones then try a size down too. In hindsight I think I could have got away with a size smaller this time.

If you like the Specialized shoes you had before, there is no reason to go any other brand. To me, they are the best and most comfortable cycling/tri shoes, with a lot of adjustments.

Have had multiple Specialized shoes, including S-works Road and the old BG Pro, plus the Trivent. Have also ridden in Sidi and Northwave. The only brand I have found as pleasing as the big S is Louis Garneau. Fantastic, at least for me.
