"The Specialized S-Works Torch Lace Road Shoe is ready to climb, descend, and outsprint the field at the finish line, thanks to its lightweight construction and high levels of efficiency. Using Specialized's Body Geometry, our knee, ankle, and hip alignment is optimized to create a stable and powerful pedal stroke that reduces fatigue to keep us riding faster, longer, and more comfortably, while an internal ""I-Beam"" allows the carbon outsole to provide an ideal stiffness-to-weight ratio. The supple design adapts to a wide variety of foot shapes and keeps them comfortable and stable with an asymmetric heel counter, lace closure, and an updated last."
