The Torch 3.0 Road Shoes combine high-performance features with elevated comfort for demanding riders.
From the outset of the Torch 3.0 Road Shoe design process, the goal was to create a performance offering as feature-packed as any top-end shoe, but at a palatable price. To achieve this, Specialized utilised three strategically placed materials on the uppers that are welded together: TPU and mesh in the front, and synthetic leather in the rear. This construction provides a more comfortable and supportive front of the shoe. A stiff rear and heel cup 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 legendary FACT carbon fibre sole to further ensure efficient power transfer. The Torch 3.0, like every Body Geometry shoe, delivers a pain-free increase in power that is validated by scientific testing with three patented technologies: Varus Wedge, Longitudinal Arch, and Metatarsal Button. The lightweight, unidirectional carbon plate delivers balanced stiffness throughout the shoe, resulting in efficient power transfer to your pedals, mirroring its S-Works counterpart.
Rubber grips on the outsole of the toe and heel provide grip for pushing off from a stoplight or a seamless transition off the bike.
