Why We Like The Specialized S-Works Torch Cycling Shoe
The S-Works Cycling Shoe is situated as a top-level road racing shoe, among Specialized's winningest line. It features a new upper with key zone reinforcements, an updated lighter construction, and a Body Geometry footbed, all working together to function as one of the most comfortable shoes we've ever ridden with. The inner construction of the S-Works Torch features Body Geometry, a footbed design that has been scientifically tested to increase power and comfort. Specialized achieves this by using Retul biomechanical data to create an asymmetrical heel support for the medial side of the foot, for natural knee alignment.

Comfortable stiff great fit!

- I've used it several times
I’ve been looking for a new shoe that would fit like an older pair that I can longer get. I have slightly wide feet and have been unable to find a super comfortable lightweight, but stiff road bike shoe. The S-Works Torch is a great shoe for me. I highly recommend it.

A product that matches the $ break-point

CLOTHING: Shoes are unquestionably the MOST important item to purchase for comfort and function on the bike. The best hardware will never make you a World Pro, but this purchase for your ride will give you a lifetime of pleasure. Fits like a slipper and true to size, Specialized finally came up with the Torch model that matches the price -- far surpassing its competitors. Only a custom made shoe could be in the same conversation, but at a price far beyond my means. After sizing, it was suggested that I get the Yellow orthotic for my High Arches, to give me the best fit. Note: Olive Green to complement the Castelli Climber jerseys, Green and Beaujolais.
