Been on Bonts for close to 10 yrs. I have crazy arches, and a wide forefoot in relation to a narrow foot, and they work for me with an appropriate non Bont insole (Bont's is just a flat thin foam thing). However, the edges of the tub wrap up slightly to join the upper, and while you can heat and shape, it not ideal for anyone with bone spurs or bumps.
They feel loose in the heel with the right tension, but never an issue on the road.
The footbed is crazy stiff, which you might like or hate.
When it comes to shoes, Colby Pierce's pod "Cycling in Alignment" is instructive.
