There are some very boastful claims behind these new £300 lace-up kicks from Specialized, including a 28-second saving on your next 10-mile time trial compared to using 'traditional cycling shoes'. So, what's new?
to its S-Works Torch range featuring Body Geometry. Unlike most lace-up shoes, these ones forgo more classic styling and are all about speed, offering "an unprecedented level of efficiency, lightweight, and comfort" and even faster time trial times, claims Specialized. They will also set you back £300.
With this comes some big claims, and Specialized says that Body Geometry shoes increase average TT power by seven watts, and could reduce a 10km time trial time by a huge 28 seconds, compared to riding the same TT in traditional cycling shoes. We're unsure what Specialized considers a traditional cycling shoe, but it goes without saying that we can't verify these claims at the time of writing...
There is also an assymetrical heel cup, which is said to accomodate the achillies in order to increase comfort. Looking at the fit data, it's a roomier design than the S-Works 7 shoes, so it may suit riders who found the heel cup to be too tight on the S-Works 7.If you’re familiar with Specialized shoes and have heard of the Varus Wedge before, then you'll also have heard of the Metatarsal Button and Longitudinal Arch.
The upper of the S-Works Torch Lace features a remapped zonal layering specific to lace retention. This is said to adapt to different foot shapes, but Specialized claims it won't stretch and will offer a consistent fit over long rides.
