The Specialized Torch 1.0 Road Cycling Shoes are intended to take the performance and ergonomics of Specialized’s high end shoes and make them affordable. To do this Specialized have swapped out the carbon fibre soles for an injection-moulded nylon composite, simplified the construction of the shoe upper and used a Velcro fastening rather than Boa Dials. This makes the shoes substantially cheaper to make but leaves the ergonomics and a lot of the performance intact. Like all Specialized cycling shoes the Torch 1.0 uses Body Geometry technology to actively boost pedalling power and efficiency while making your feet more comfortable at the same time.

The Torch 1.0 shoes comes with fittings for both 2 and 3 bolt cleats so you can use them with pretty much any pedal you want, whether road, mountain bike or touring.
