The Details
Take a look at the Specialized Torch 1.0 road shoe if you are after a well-priced shoe that is packed full of features. This unisex shoe comes with Boa's L6 fit system providing a precise fit and allowing for on-the-fly adjustments too. Then add to that the Body Geometry construction benefits which Specialized is famed for. This includes a scientifically designed sole and footbed to maximise power transfer and reduce the chance of injury by ensuring correct alignment of the hip, knee and foot. The Torch 1.0 shoes, therefore, provide comfort, support and a high-end feel.
The upper of the Specialized Torch shoes are made from synthetic leather which provides support to the top of your foot whilst remaining supple and thus comfortable. At the same time, an injection-moulded nylon composite sole forms the base, which makes it moderately stiff (index 6.0) but also super light, so that you can even take your performance to the next level.
Together with these features, these shoes are truly versatile with a 3-bolt cleat pattern that fits all major road pedals and reflective heel elements for added visibility.
- Boa L6 dial closure system
- Synthetic leather upper
- Body Geometry sole and footbed
Our Verdict
The Torch 1.0 road cycling shoes from Specialized are jam packed full of features despite being 'just' an entry-level shoe.

Sizing Information
Footwear Size Guide
Purchasing a pair of cycling shoes for the first time can lead to a lot of questions. We at Rutland Cycling have over 30 years of shoe fitting experience, so here are some key pointers to look out for when buying a new pair:
1. When deciding what size cycling shoes to get, go with your normal shoe size, as cycling shoes typically run true to size. However, if you’re normally between sizes, for example sometimes you go with a 9 and sometimes a 9.5, it’s recommended that you size up.
2. The best time to measure your feet, or to try shoes on is in the afternoon, as this is when they will be at their largest due to your feet naturally tending to swell throughout the day.
3. Cycling shoes are intended to wrap snuggly around the foot as they have been designed with a specific purpose in mind—pedaling. The goal is to try and provide as much lower leg and arch stability as possible and provide you with a stable pedaling platform.
4. With the cycling industry largely originating in Europe, European sizing is the typical standard. The best way to figure out a specific brand size is use a that brand’s conversion chart. However, below is general sizing conversion chart based off conventional UK shoe sizing.
