The Specialized Torch shoes, specifically the top-line S-Works model, haven’t had a bad year all told. Already a well-regarded and popular cycling shoe before the summer, their stock rose when Remco Evenepoel used them to smash the Paris Olympic road race on his way to a solo victory. He was wearing overshoes, but we assume he also used the same cycling shoes to win the time trial. Two Olympic golds in the space of a week isn’t too shabby.
So what? I hear you cry. Well aside from pro rider victories which may not matter to everyone, we highly rate the Specialized Torch shoes here at Cyclingnews. They are lightweight, very comfortable and wide enough for most feet, meaning a lot of riders get on with them. They feature in our Best Road Cycling Shoes guide too. We gave the BOA version a near-perfect review score a few years back, and you will see the same conclusions in many online reviews.
