FAQs

What is the Body Geometry design?

Body Geometry design is an ergonomic design of the sole and footbeds that is scientifically tested to optimize hip, knee, and foot alignment, boosting power, increasing efficiency, and reducing the chance of injury.

Are these shoes compatible with my pedals?

The Torch 1.0 shoes use a three-bolt cleat pattern and are compatible with all major road SPD pedals and SPD cleats.

How do I adjust the fit?

Use the Boa® L6 Fit System to adjust the fit. Turn the dial to tighten and pull up on the dial to release.

How do I clean my Torch 1.0 shoes?

Wipe the shoes with a damp cloth after each ride to remove dirt and grime. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

What is the stiffness index of these shoes?

The Torch 1.0 shoes have a stiffness index of 6.0.

Where can I find a sizing chart?

A sizing chart is provided in the product description, but it is always best to try the shoe on if possible.

Are replacement parts available?

Yes, replacement parts for the Boa® system are available through Specialized or Boa® directly. Check the manufacturer's website for specific details.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel tight or loose after adjustment.

Re-adjust the Boa® L6 Fit System to achieve the correct fit. Ensure the dial is properly engaged and not stripped.

Cleats are difficult to clip in or out.

Adjust the cleat position on the sole to optimize engagement with the pedals. Ensure the cleats and pedals are clean and free of debris.

Check for any obstructions or damage to the dial. If necessary, consult the Boa® Guarantee for support or replacement.
