The Specialized Torch 3.0 Road Cycling Shoes were designed as a high performance, feature packed top end shoe but one that would be at what Specialized call a ‘palatable’ price. Whether you think the price is palatable will be down to your personal budget but this is a top performance shoe.

The Torch 3.0 shoes use a FACT carbon fibre sole to create a super light and super stiff base for the shoe so you get amazing power transfer. The shoe upper is uppers are welded together TPU and mesh in the front and synthetic leather in the rear. This makes for a more comfortable and supportive front of the shoe with a stiff rear and heel cup. This helps lock down your heel and keep all of your watts going into the pedals as efficiently as possible. To keep your feet even more snugly locked in the Torch 3.0 comes with two Boa S2-SV Snap dials for zonal closure, and a precise fit that leads to all-day comfort.
