S-Works Torch Road Bike Shoes

The Specialized S-Works Torch Cycling Shoe is the latest evolution of the winningest footwear in cycling. Using Body Geometry together with biomimicry, data science, and obsessive craftsmanship, the brand engineered a shoe so thoughtfully constructed that you'll forget you're wearing it. If you absolutely want- or need- the very best biomechanical engineering that the cycling world can offer, it starts here with Specialized RETUL fit data and the S-Works commitment to scientifically crafting shoes that disappear on your feet.

• Upper
  • New upper features reinforcement in key zones while also offering adaptive fit zones to create a disappearing fit on the foot
  • An updated last makes use of Retul data to better match the shape of riders' feet, sloping more towards the lateral side to give a snug, close-to-foot fit
  • Asymmetrical heel counter supports the medial side while removing material from the lateral side, allowing for a lower collar
• Closure
  • Updated BOA® cable routing improves lockdown while reducing pressure across anterior ankle ligaments
  • Independent alloy BOA® S3-Snap Fit System for on-the-fly micro-adjustment, backed by the BOA® Guarantee
• Sole
  • Based on data gathered from Retul foot scans, the new base plate is 4mm wider at the ball than the previous generation of S-Works 7 shoe
  • By optimizing its construction, the new carbon plate is 20g lighter than the S-Works 7, with an internal "I-Beam" ensuring it maintains the same stiffness as the previous generation
  • Titanium alloy cleat nuts can rotate to position pedal/cleats 5mm rearward
  • Non-slip, replaceable heel tread with internally recessed screws for security
