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.

Specialized S-Works Recon Lace: £300 £150 at Specialized 50% off - S Works Recon in-depth review

Specialized S-Works Recon Lace: £300 £150 at Specialized
50% off - Hiding in plain sight on the Specialised website are the S-Works Recon Lace gravel shoes, with a whopping 50% off in the Black colourway. This is a bit of an easter egg deal, as only the size 44 is left. But since it's a pretty common size we have included it, given the deal. It is an older model, but it's still exceptional.

He has over 10 years of experience as a qualified mechanic, with the last five years before joining Cyclingnews being spent running an independent workshop. This means he is just as happy tinkering away in the garage as he is out on the road bike, and he isn’t afraid to pull a bike apart or get hands-on with it when testing to really see what it’s made of. 

He has ridden and raced bikes from an early age up to a national level on the road and track, and has ridden and competed in most disciplines. He has a keen eye for pro-team tech and enjoys spotting new or interesting components in the wild. During his time at Cyclingnews, Tom has already interviewed some of the sport's biggest names including Mathieu van der Poel, Tadej Pogačar and Alberto Contador. He's also covered various launches from brands such as Pinarello, Ridley, Specialized and more, tackled the Roubaix Challenge sportive aboard his own rim-brake Cannondale SuperSix Evo, tested over 20 aero helmets in the wind tunnel, and has created helpful in-depth buying advice relating to countless categories from torque wrenches to winter clothing.
