Specialized Torch 2.0 Cycling Shoe Black, 42.0

"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""The Torch 2. 0 is the shoe I point riders to when they're ready to get serious without going full race setup. The Body Geometry construction makes a noticeable difference in knee and hip comfort on longer rides, and the woven carbon sole transfers power cleanly without the stiff, unforgiving feel of a dedicated race shoe. The BOA Li2 dial with the forefoot strap keeps fit locked in, and the rubber heel and toe make walking between rides actually manageable. A well-rounded shoe that punches above its price.""The right shoe changes how a ride feels from the first pedal stroke, and Specialized's Torch 2. 0 is the one that makes that case most clearly at this price point. Body Geometry construction aligns the foot, knee, and hip ergonomically so long rides stay comfortable rather than accumulating the fatigue that poorly aligned footwear builds over miles. The seamless synthetic upper wraps the foot without pressure points, and laser perforations keep airflow moving through warm weather rides and hard efforts alike. A BOA Li2 dial paired with a hook-and-loop forefoot strap locks fit precisely across the full foot, and the woven carbon sole delivers stiff, efficient power transfer with rubber at the heel and toe for confident movement off the bike. The internal heel counter adds support and keeps the heel planted through sustained efforts."
