From the outset of the Torch 30 Road shoe design process our goal was to create a performance offering as feature-packed as any top-end shoe The challenge however was pulling this off at a palatable price In order to achieve this we utilized three strategically placed materials on the uppers that are welded together-TPU and mesh in the front and synthetic leather in the rear This makes for a more comfortable and supportive front of the shoe A stiff rear and heel cup meanwhile lock down your heel and keep all of your watts going into the pedals as efficiently as possible This refined upper is combined with our legendary FACT carbon fiber sole to further ensure an efficient power transfer Finally we topped the Torch 30 off with two Boa S2-SV Snap dials for zonal closure and a precise fit that leads to all-day comfort
