Riding with the wrong shoe size? I did for YEARS!

For years I rode my bike with the wrong shoe size because I didn't know any better! New to cycling or years of uncomfortable shoes, check out these tips to make sure you ride in comfort!

Good video... I used to think that foot strangulation in tight shoes meant "fast" as well. Some Bont shoes and the Lake CX201 shoe are the only ones I've found with a natural shaped toe box. Unfortunately, Bont's "bathtub" carbon sole does not work for my feet as my feet can swell when they are warm and the stiff sole edges bite into my feet.

exactly the info I was looking for. Thank you.

I've purchased a pair of Bont shoes...most painful shoes I've ever worn. I've tried so many times to heat mold, but I can't get the painful spot to go away. Bont basically just said I'm out of luck, and wants me to purchase another pair of Bont shoes! No thanks. I'll live with my other shoes that hurt, but hurt less.

Excellent video. Also had the 'tight is right advice' and then the discomfort.

Hi, I did it the other way around: I did wear to large shoes for years... (not only on the bike...) That's not good as well. The toe box of the Bont shoes look nice. They seem to have space for the big toe. I think I'll give them a try.

Well this has been so worth watching as I get get foot pain you said about🤦‍♂️ I thought it was just me.

I used this everyday and all the time. A must have product.

It is imperative to know your actual measured size in cm these days, compare the size charts of Bont and Fizik. On paper a 41.5 fizik is a 43 Bont. That is a huge variation. If a shoe is too long you may not be able to bring the cleat back if you are a heel dropper or forward if you are toe pointer, correct sizing is pretty darn important.

In my experience…it’s better to use shoe covers to address cold then thicker or more socks…I have wind, medium and thick shoes covers

Wow!!! Didn't know you were on YouTube too! Just subscribed, but followed on ig, for a while already. Awesome

I ordered Bont Riot 24 yesterday. Hope they fit better than the S-Phyre RC903E.

[leftymadrid]

A very familiar story!! Gosh, I've been through it as well. Great information for many I'm sure.

It's just another world now!

I wear a 43. The Fizik's on order apparently come up a big big. Size 42.5's then. I once had some 42's. Had to cut holes in them for one of my toes.

Yeah it’s not rock climbing where if the shoe doesn’t hurt it’s the wrong size 🙄 lol. Bike shoe fit seemed easier back in the day when the top shoes were all leather uppers, I raced in Vittoria’s with the wooden soles, you bought em sorta tight because they eventually stretched and formed around you foot, as long as you got the length right it was easy to take em to the shoe repair guy and have him stretch which ever shoe was feeling tight if they didn’t quite break in right. Today you kinda gotta get it right to begin with except if you get something heat moldable like the Bont I guess .. though I’ve never tried Bont bike shoes I do have Bont short track ice speed skates .. maybe I’ll try some Bont bike shoes. Thanks for the vid.

Hi. Great Review. I just bought the Bont Vaypor S. the shoes really holds my feet tight. will it be okay if i use it for long rides?

[TheMASDrummer]

I had specialized Torch 1s that were two sizes too big. Bought the new S works 7 shoe today in my size and dropping everyone now lol

[lynnebarkas]

I was wearing a size 44 mainly due to a broad foot at the toe area. Which in reality puts your cleats in the wrong position relative to your foot. I have now got a super fit with a Lake wide fit shoe. Cleats better positioned and really comfortable.

Thank you! I have been scouring to find an SPD shoe with a larger toe bed.

[annukun]

good brother same here but i found LAKE cx 241s the best ever....but had to spend money on 2 different shoes to fianlly discover lakes comfor is key

[rudythecuban]

I have spent allot of money and the shoes have always been crushing my feet! Sick and tired of pain and numbness because I can’t get a US size 11EE or W for extra wide.
Therefore I’ve gone back to old 70s toe-clip with a retainer leather strap.
