Specialized designed the Torch 1. 0 Road Shoe for entry-level cyclists who want to clip into premium footwear for their first time. It features a scientifically-tested Body Geometry design that provides proper hip-to-foot alignment for a boost in power and increased efficiency. The moderately stiff sole balances between beginner-friendly comfort and pedal-pushing performance. Specialized equipped a Boa dial and hook-and-loop strap to fasten the supple upper snugly around your foot.
