The new Specialized S-Works Torch Lace shoe combines the timeless style of the lace-up upper with unmatched performance in efficiency, light weight, and comfort. A shoe that 'disappears at your feet'. Like each of our shoes, it is made according to Body Geometry criteria: identify a critical issue, solve it with design, and validate the concept with the scientific method. This is how we improve comfort, performance, and reduce the possibility of sports injuries. Comfort: The forefoot of the S-Works Torch Lace, developed through Retül data and numerous foot scans, is 4mm wider than the S-Works 7. The zoned upper is flexible enough to adapt to numerous foot shapes without deforming to ensure a secure and consistent fit. The asymmetric heel counter prevents blisters on the ankle while providing the necessary stability at the knee. Efficiency: Each Body Geometry shoe with the patented Varus Wedge, which creates a 1.5mm outward tilt, improves ankle, knee and hip alignment for stable pedaling. Thanks to the lace closure, carbon sole and lightweight upper, the weight of the S-Works Torch Lace is low, just 200 grams for a size 42 shoe. The I-Beam reinforcement inside the carbon sole creates the perfect stiffness-to-weight ratio for the big efforts of professional racers. Style: Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and those who see the S-Works Torch Lace will admire them for as long as they can stand on your wheel. Classic styling, understated and elegant color for a shoe that will take you to the finish line or to the top of the mountain to admire the sunset.
