Thanks again for all the replies. I ended up ordering the Torch laces in 44 and they fit very well both length wise and width wise.
When I use my old giro insoles (which surprisingly are a tad too small for the shoe despite coming from a 44.5 size giro) the shoes are very comfortable. When I use the green specialized BG soles the left one is perfect but in the right one I get some crampy feeling on the bottom front of the sole with some pain in the first 15 minutes and then for the rest of the ride it is only slightly numb. I am wondering if this is due to my right foot not getting along with the "metatarsal button" or if it is due to the sole being quite a bit thicker at the front than the giro one and maybe my toes touch the top of the shoe very slightly... I am also wondering if it makes any sense to try the blue BG insoles?

Could also be the built Varus wedge ....Lightweenie2 wrote: ↑Fri Mar 15, 2024 10:42 amThanks again for all the replies. I ended up ordering the Torch laces in 44 and they fit very well both length wise and width wise.

After reading your post, I tightened the heel pad screw inside the shoe.johnpuga1982 wrote: ↑Wed Feb 28, 2024 12:10 amI recently purchaed a pair of S-Works Torch 3 (BOA) in white and the rear heal cap popped off the first time I used them. I happened somewhere over a 101 mile ride. So I don't know how it happened.

It's built into the sole itself. (Not the insole, the carbon sole)Lightweenie2 wrote: ↑Fri Mar 15, 2024 3:32 pmI am wondering if this is built into the soles or the shoes (or both?) It is quite difficult for me to figure this out from the marketing material, it is mentioned in the boxes of both the insoles and the shoes.

Then that isn't the problem. As I mentioned: no issues with my old giro insoles.
You would need separate wedges to counter the built in Wedge.
As I said , it is built into the sole (I.e) the shoe itself.
Sorry, in my native language "sole" also describes the outsole.
You may be able to see a slight tilt when looking at the shoe from the front. Or not

Just saw this YouTube video where they aero test the laces vs. BOAs.

Laces are slightly more aero.
