The Specialized Women’s Torch 1.0 Road Cycling Shoes are intended to take the performance & ergonomics of Specialized’s high end shoes & make them affordable. To do this Specialized have swapped out the carbon fibre soles for an injection-moulded nylon composite, simplified the construction of the shoe upper & used a Velcro fastening rather than Boa Dials. This makes the shoes substantially cheaper to make but leaves the ergonomics & a lot of the performance intact. Like all Specialized cycling shoes the Women’s Torch 1.0 uses Body Geometry technology to actively boost pedalling power & efficiency while making your feet more comfortable at the same time. The Torch 1.0 shoes comes with fittings for both 2 & 3 bolt cleats so you can use them with pretty much any pedal you want, whether road, mountain bike or touring. Features Body Geometry sole construction & footbeds are ergonomically designed & scientifically tested to boost power, increase efficiency, & reduce chance of injury by optimizing hip, knee, & foot alignment. Injection-moulded nylon composite sole is engineered to be moderately stiff yet light: Stiffness Index 6.0. Three-strap offset Velcro® closure for superior fit. Synthetic upper with mesh venting for supple fit. Reflective heel elements for high visibility. Three-bolt & two-bolt cleat pattern fits all major road & mountain pedals. Approximate weight: 237g (1/2 pair, Size 39)
