Specialized S-Works Torch Lace Road Cycling Shoes

S-Works Torch Lace Road Cycling Shoes Fusing timeless; refined style with an unprecedented level of efficiency; the S-Works Torch Lace Road Shoes boast all-day comfort made possible by patented Body Geometry technology. Classic lines; understated colorways; and the timeless silhouette of laces come together in the S-Works Torch Lace; all without sacrificing an ounce of performance. With 4mm extra width at the ball of the foot; the the S-Works Torch Lace utilizes a new forefoot shape based on extensive 3D foot scans and Retül data. Remapped zonal layering keeps the upper incredibly supple to adapt to different foot shapes; yet won’t stretch over a long day in the saddle – ensuring a secure; consistent fit. The engineered upper design will allow it to get the preferred closure tension; but it won’t relax as it goes through a long ride. An asymmetric heel counter reduces hard touch points against the ankle whilst delivering knee stability; and Body Geometry optimises ankle; knee; and hip alignment for a stable pedal stroke. Specialized set their sights on solving problems such as forefoot numbness; “hot foot”; arch collapse; medial and lateral knee pain; and instability – all of which erode efficiency; power output; endurance; and comfort – while potentilally leading to injury. The outsole of the S-Works Torch features a Varus Wedge; a 1.5mm outward tilt to the outsole that stabilizes the forefoot during the pedal stroke and helps align the ankle; knee; and hip. The Metatarsal Button in the insole lifts and separate the metatarsal bones; preventing them from impinging nerves and compressing arteries. The lightweight lace retention; carbon outsolem and airy upper material keep the S-Works Torch Lace to a feathery 200 grams in size 42. With an internal ‘I-Beam’; the carbon outsole provides the ideal stiffness-to-weight ratio for big efforts without adding excess grams; optimised by working with the best riders in the world.
