LS2 Torrent Man WP riding shoes

The Torrent uses quick-pull laces in place of ordinary laces. Slip your foot in, pull once and the shoe closes around your foot, then tuck the lace end into its pocket so it cannot catch on the gear lever or footpeg.

A pull tab at the heel gives you something to hook a finger into when putting the shoe on.

The box contains the shoes only, with no spare lace.

According to LS2, the Torrent has a 10,000mm water-resistant layer with 6,000 g/m²/24h breathability, a feature meant to keep your feet dry when you meet rain on the road. BigBike does not promise dry feet in every downpour.

The upper is polyester mesh combined with TPU. Worn all day, walking included, your feet do not get hot.

The insole is removable, so take it out to dry separately after a rainy ride.

The label reads CE EN 13634:2017 Level 1/1/1/1. An ankle protector sits inside the collar, and the toe and heel are reinforced. Reflective strips on the heel and sides help other traffic see your feet after dark.

The Torrent is true to size, so choose your usual shoe size. Go up one size only if your feet are wide. BigBike stocks five sizes from 41 to 45.

The collar reaches the ankle bone, so the shin above it is not covered. The armor and reinforcements are protective construction, not a promise of safety in a crash.

Choose the Torrent when you need a riding shoe that stays comfortable through a lot of walking, from the commute to tours and light dirt roads.

Look at another model if you need a tall boot, need shoes for track days, or your feet are smaller than size 41 or larger than size 45.

If you are unsure of your size, come to the shop to try a pair, or send your current shoe size and foot length on Zalo for a recommendation.
