Why We Like The Specialized S-Works Torch Cycling Shoe
The S-Works Cycling Shoe is situated as a top-level road racing shoe, among Specialized's winningest line. It features a new upper with key zone reinforcements, an updated lighter construction, and a Body Geometry footbed, all working together to function as one of the most comfortable shoes we've ever ridden with. The inner construction of the S-Works Torch features Body Geometry, a footbed design that has been scientifically tested to increase power and comfort. Specialized achieves this by using Retul biomechanical data to create an asymmetrical heel support for the medial side of the foot, for natural knee alignment.

Great Road shoe for those wanting speed
- Familiarity:
- I've put it through the wringer
Having logged close to 5k miles in these from when I got them last year, I love the slightly wider toebox, although I am Keen to try the new Ares 2. Nonetheless the supple upper, stiff sole and dual S3 boa dials make this a great shoe. Pricey but well worth the coin. They last and last and keep up under the hardest efforts. These never feel harsh on the road and the updated heel counter makes heel issues a thing of the past. The material breathes and in the winter I tape the vents with duct tape to keep things warm. Overall another killer shoe from Specialized that I use between other shoes i.e. the Recon SL.

Great, stiff road shoe.
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
These are very stiff, without being uncomfortable. I had a previous version of specialized expert road shoes for years and these are an upgrade. Color is beautiful and the pictures online don’t do it justice. Only critiques would be: 1. Like the description says they run a little small(narrow) in my experience. 2. I wish the BOA were the pop release instead of having to turn the wheel back the other way. That being said I would absolutely buy these again.

An excellent performance shoe
- Familiarity:

I have almost 1,000 miles on these shoes and am quite pleased with them. I've worn Specialized shoes for years, and these shoes offer a great combination of comfort, light weight and stiffness. I'm a US 10 1/2 shoe size and wear a 45 in these shoes. The toe box offers just enough wiggle room for me without sliding around inside the shoe. I give them 5 stars. Stay safe out there :).

After these, I dont wear anything else.

After these, I refuse to wear anything else. They are super comfortable. The wider footbed, cooling and body geometry that hits perfectly as you put your foot down, discrete white colorway, quality construction, easy to clean, etc, etc. I am a fan.

Look great

I Upgraded to these shoes. They are stiff and lightweight. Probably the best feature are dual Boa dials which allow you to precisely adjust fit.

Comfortable stiff great fit!
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
I’ve been looking for a new shoe that would fit like an older pair that I can longer get. I have slightly wide feet and have been unable to find a super comfortable lightweight, but stiff road bike shoe. The S-Works Torch is a great shoe for me. I highly recommend it.

A product that matches the $ break-point

CLOTHING: Shoes are unquestionably the MOST important item to purchase for comfort and function on the bike. The best hardware will never make you a World Pro, but this purchase for your ride will give you a lifetime of pleasure. Fits like a slipper and true to size, Specialized finally came up with the Torch model that matches the price -- far surpassing its competitors. Only a custom made shoe could be in the same conversation, but at a price far beyond my means. After sizing, it was suggested that I get the Yellow orthotic for my High Arches, to give me the best fit. Note: Olive Green to complement the Castelli Climber jerseys, Green and Beaujolais.
