Replace the S3 Boa on a Specialized S-Works Torch road shoe with Tongue Loops. Many boa fitted cycling shoes don’t have any tongue loops that the boa wires need to pass through, which makes boa replacement easy. But on the Specialized S-Works Torch road shoe, there are tongue loops.
It is also very easy to install a new boa on this shoe. Just flip the S3 dial over, cut the knotted end of the boa wire that retains the wire in the boa, pull free, pass through the tongue loops, and refasten. Your shoe is back to normal.
