I picked up a pair of Bont, Vaypor G's, that were on sale on their website a while back, black with red trim. I used the Bont sizing thingy to determine my size. I baked them and had some issues on the outside of my foot. The length was fine. I bought a shoe stretcher from Amazon for 20 bucks. "eachway Shoe Stretcher Shoe Trees, Adjustable Length & Width for Men and Women". Baked them again and used the stretchers to target the outside of my foot. Awesome result.
I used to ski race. The boot/foot interface is critical. A good, well fitted, ski boot does not slide on like a slipper. My current ski boots have Intuition heat molded liners. The fit of the Bont reminds me of my ski boots. A bit of a struggle to get on, but once you foot is in, it's delightful. I did find that I had to put in a few rides on the Bont's for them to kinda "break in".
I use a "Sole" thin cork insole with a met pad. The stock Bont insole is not great.
Other shoes used in the past: Sidi, Northwave, Pearl Izumi, Shimano...
I hope you have a good result!
