2nd pair, loved both
Amazing shoes! Had these in black and now bought a second pair in white. Super comfy, fit perfect with my wide feet, feel stiff and efficient, super easy to adjust on the road. Look no further.... Show more

Excellent fit even without using the oven.
I bought these after struggling with the narrowness of some other shoes and they have fit fabulously from the off. The only modification I have made is to add specialized insoles for a slightly better feel. The boa is really very good indeed: incremental tightness and instantaneous loosening. The look is pretty swish also. The sole is stiff and unyielding and I'm pleased with they too. Highly recommended.... Show more

Finally a toe box that fits...
Once every few days I will get a sudden pang of annoyance running through my body and mind as I remember that apart from Bont, every cycling shoe manufacturer shapes their toe boxes in a way that does not match the layout of the human foot. Imagine if helmet manufacturers made their helmets square, and just told everyone to get on with it...Anyway, these Bont Riot MTB shoes have been really good so far. Stiff, moldable, fit my toe arrangement (I have a particularly pronounced Egyptian toe profile), and have taken a fair kicking so far with no sign of giving up. The cleats can be mounted pretty far back too, which is another bonus. In the furthest back position, however, the pedals hit the rubber of the sole, which is a bit of a design flaw. Not a big issue, but ...

Other than that, these have been spot on, especially for the price.Tip; use a hairdryer to heat them up when you mold them - way more targetted and controlled that throwing them in the oven...

Great fit
They feel great in terms of fit and width. Have yet to mould them or cycle yet. The top strap does dig into the top of your foot a bit as there’s minimal padding. Overall seem like good value but will need to update review once used.... Show more

Great Product!! Fast Delivery!! Superb Quality!!
I bought this product a month ago. At first I hesitate to buy, but as I checked all the information on the product description, the sizing chart provided and all the reviews, I add to cart and bought it. The item was delivered so fast.. Like 4 days with a thousand miles away. I recommend the item and this site to my friends to see and check some stuff.... Show more

Great shoe, just be patient……
When I first put them on I thought they were a touch too small. A bike fitter measured me as a 45 Wide in a Shimano gravel shoe so I got the same size. I put them in the oven, didn’t leave them in long enough, back in they went came out 85% perfect. Rode them in over 300kms (MTB & Gravel), softened up, back in the oven, hello slippers. 100% perfect. Never had a pair fit so well!!! Really stiff but I can still walk in them up sandy rocky hills. If you’re after something different, give them a go.... Show more

Great shoes and service
Hello,I bought these shoes a month ago, I wanted a pair that accommodated wider feet, instead of squishing the forefoot together. These do the job wonderfully. I have used bonts for years. Having switched from regular trainers to barefoot trainers, my feet actually grew 1/2 a size, I used to take a 46.5, now I need a 47W in bonts. Service in store very good, no pressure, helpful, kind.Thanks,Simon... Show more

Have a Riot with these Bonts
I purchased these Bont Riot shoes last month. After dialing in the fit through Bonts mouldable technology - the shoes feel as comfy as a pair of slippers. The are the stiffest shoes I’ve ever worn - the carbon sole is excellent. I wore them in the Amy Gillett Gran Fondo - a UCI event with around 2000m of climbing - about a week after first wearing them. No issues at all. First time after a long ride that my feet felt fine. Great shoes.... Show more

I feel that the power loss has decreased.
I am happy to be able to purchase at half the price of domestic regular price in Japan.The size was determined according to the measuring method of the manufacturer site. There is no major problem even if actually wearing it. Strongly speaking, it may be that the narrow fit is better for me, but I do not know because I never tried it.I ordered the thermoforming to the pro shop. Unfortunately the tip of the heel melted a little, but the shaping worked well and it is comfortable to use. I think that pedaling is possible without power loss because the bottom does not bend structurally.... Show more

Very disappointed in these shoes
So after reading reviews on these I expected a shoe that would blow my old mavic and shimano shoes out the water! Why because I have a wide foot, first off lets start with their carbon foot base its like a bath tub and the edges dig into the sides of the feet! Even after their moulding procedure you cant shape the edges out enough, then there's the shoe material it self its baggy around your foot and when you tighten the boa it it rucks up! The fore foot velcro is awfull and just pulls the shoe out of shape even more! Then there is the quality of the shoe itself its shocking for the price! Looks and feels cheap, I wanted these to be the perfect shoes but they missed the mark by miles, 100's of miles! I ended up with some spec Torch 3.0 which have enough adjustment ...
