Why We Like The Specialized Torch 3.0 Cycling Shoe
With a unique combination of comfort, classic aesthetics, and high-quality construction, the Specialized Torch 3.0 Cycling Shoe allows us to push past our limits, taking us to new heights and breaking PRs along the way. The seamless upper construction features a blend of mesh and TPU, while the Body Geometry sole construction and footbed feature an ergonomic design to increase efficiency and power and minimize the risk of injury. For a secure fit, we twist the dual BOA® Li2 dials, creating dual-direction micro-adjustments that are easy to fix on the go.

Stiffer and a bit more volume
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
The new torch 3.0 feels stiffer and has a bit more volume in the front of the shoe. Very comfortable and look good. Still getting used to the change from the old torch of which I had a few pairs.

Almost perfect
- Familiarity:
- I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions

The area directly over the top BOA dial is unpadded. The tongue of the shoe does not extend past this point, causing a pressure point which digs into your tibiofibular joint. The offset design causes the tongue to naturally slide outward, causing the stiff outer upper of the shoe to dig into your skin instead of even pressure being applied across the top of the foot. Besides this, the shoe feels perfect. Seriously considering a return.
