Specialized Torch 3.0 Road Shoes

From the outset of the Torch 3.0 road shoe design process, our goal was to create a performance offering as feature-packed as any top-end shoe. The challenge, however, was to achieve this at an affordable price.

To achieve this, we used three strategically placed materials on the upper that are welded together - TPU and mesh at the front and synthetic leather at the back. This makes the front of the shoe more comfortable and supportive. Meanwhile, a stiff rear and heel cup keep your heel in place and ensure all your watts go into the pedals as efficiently as possible. This refined upper is combined with our legendary FACT carbon fibre sole for even more efficient power transfer. Finally, we topped off the Torch 3.0 with two Boa® S2-SV Snap dials for zonal closure and a precise fit for all-day comfort.

- Body Geometry sole construction and footbeds are ergonomically designed and scientifically tested to improve performance, increase efficiency and reduce the risk of injury by optimising hip, knee and foot alignment.

- FACT™ carbon composite sole and torsion box construction is directionally stiff for superior power transmission: Stiffness index 8.5.

- Dual Boa® S2-SV Snap Fit System for on-the-fly micro-adjustment, backed by the Boa Guarantee.

- Mesh, TPU and synthetic layers in the upper are placed in specific zones for comfort and lock-down and are thermobonded for a superior fit.

- Standard fit for support and all day comfort.

- Three-bolt cleat pattern fits all major road pedals.

- Approximate weight: 248g (1/2 pair, size 42)
