Specialized S-Works Torch shoes - Green

The Specialized S-Works Torch represents the latest evolution in the field of the most successful footwear in cycling. Using Body Geometry, biomimicry, data science and craftsmanship, Specialized has designed a shoe that's built so carefully you'll forget you're wearing it. Leveraging data science, Specialized has perfected every detail of the upper of the S-Works Torch for a better fit and unmatched performance. The BOA® cable is shifted down and angled, preventing forefoot lift. This evolution negates the need for a Velcro strap, while providing a structure that improves power and eliminating unwanted pressure or pinching. Adaptive materials allow natural foot movement where needed for added comfort, while data-based zonal reinforcement keeps the foot bandaged for crisp power output and optimum efficiency. Guided by over 100,000 foot scans of RETÜL data, Specialized recognized that both a standard sole and a wide sole would best suit the full spectrum of human foot shapes. An internal reinforcement adds stiffness and strength. The result is a weight reduction of 20 grams, greater efficiency and immediate power transfer. Also based on RETÜL data, it was estimated that more space was needed to accommodate the Achilles tendon in order to increase comfort. The problem was solved by creating an asymmetrical heel seat that offered more space, while maintaining an excellent connection. Hence it was verified to maintain optimal knee alignment and increased comfort. The S-Works Torch have been scientifically made to disappear at your feet.

• The new upper features reinforcements where needed, and at the same time is flexible enough to 'disappear' from your feet.
• Based on Retül data collected with foot scans, the sole is 4mm wider than the S-Works 7 model.
• The shape of the carbon sole is optimized by adding a reinforcement and eliminating the accumulation of unnecessary material around the perimeter. The result is a weight reduction of 20 grams, greater efficiency and immediate power transfer.
• Thanks to Retül data, with the updated last we accommodate cyclists' feet better, with a snug fit.
• An asymmetrical heel supports the medial and allows for the removal of material from the sides and the use of a lower collar.
• The BOA® cable change improves grip, while reducing pressure on the ankle ankle ligaments.
• BOA® S3-Snap Fit system with independent micro-adjustment, with Boa® guarantee.
• The titanium threaded bushes can be reversed to move the cleat further back up to 5mm. Predisposition for all major pedals with three-screw cleats.
• Non-slip and easily replaceable rear cleat.
• Color: Oak Green.
