I have a couple of pairs- I have had other high end carbon shoes including Rocket 7’s:
My take on the shoes is that they are light and amazingly stiff. They are great shoes for putting power to the pedals- I really feel like they add power/speed for sprints or intense efforts I think they are comfortable for rides under 4 hours. But they are so stiff that for longer rides my feet start to hurt- I have never had a pair of shoes do that before. I have not tried different foot beds etc and maybe that would make the difference. If I was racing crits these would be perfect- but for longer rides I prefer the swork shoes I have.

Im asking because like 2 years ago got at the bay a good deal for the kangoroo 500 bucks shoe in the same size i use and the thing was massively big, no oven process was going to fix it. So big that felt like a 47 and im like 44.5/45... had to return them, never knew if the shoe was wrong labeled, or are really that big and now that you mention like regular wide vs super extra extra wide in the expensive shoes it could make sense what happened to me.
In a blog around the same time contacted the blogger and he told me that he never noticed but the same super expensive shoe he was using like 2 numbers less than in the regular priced to cheap lake shoes. But since nobody actually mentioned that important detail in any review, i always ask and never get an answer. Like "you want 500 bucks shoes, do the homework! im not going to tell you!!!" type of thing going on... Last edited by ultraman6970; 06-15-2019 at 10:13 AM. |

I went from CX237 in 42 to CX332 in 42.5 wide. But my feet seem to be getting fatter, somehow. Keep in mind the variance in these handmade shoes. I got MX237s in 42 going off my CX237s. They were too small, despite theoretically being the same last and sizing. Frustrating, really.

In case anyone's looking for a set of Bont shoes, they're currently running a 30% off sale. The code is BONT30EOFY.

Darn, just tried it but the "selected models and colors" limitation bit me.

Sorry about that... the Helix, Vapor S, Vaypor+, Riot, and Riot+ MTB are eligible. And the coupon code has to be all caps.

Interesting. It's shouldn't be a unique code, considering that they're doing a "30% off End of Fiscal Year sale". YMMV, disgregard me, and all that.
Edit: Yep- looks like it's already been used. Last edited by Blown Reek; 06-18-2019 at 11:59 AM. |

I received an email with the same code. I've sent them an email inquiring, imagine they'll get back to me once the code is formally void.

Scratch that, still doesn't work for me although Bont did send a "fixed it" email.

just to add ..
previously i used bont vaypor 43W, bont zero 43W and bont vaypor s 43W .. currently in love with lake CX332 i have wide feet. before bont, i have tried few shimanos .. bont was better than shimano .. but lake is perfect i guess the thing i learnt .. bont is good, but you need to know whether your feet will expand a lot during the long/hot ride .. because the shoe will not expand. that is why .. normally they recommend 2 size up. unfortunately for small rider like me .. the bigger the shoe, the lesser the toe and front tyre clearance to my knowledge .. only bont and lake are truly wide design .. other brands normally use the same sole as the standard version .. and put more material to the top for more space .. i could be wrong |
