Specialized Torch 3.0 Road Shoes (Black) (38.5)

Description

Setting off on the Torch 3.0 Road shoe design process, Specialized had a goal to create a performance, feature-packed, top-end shoe. The challenge, however, was pulling this off at a palatable price. To achieve this, Specialized utilized three strategically placed materials on the uppers that are welded togetherTPU and mesh in the front and synthetic leather in the rear. This makes for a more comfortable and supportive front of the shoe. A stiff rear and heel cup, meanwhile, lock down your heel and keep all of your watts going into the pedals as efficiently as possible. This refined upper is combined with Specialized’s FACT carbon fiber sole to further ensure an efficient power transfer. Finally, we topped the Torch 3.0 off with two Boa S2-SV Snap dials for zonal closure, and a precise fit that leads to all-day comfort.
