Bont Shoes

[MichaelB]

Sorry, wrong size, I'd need 46 or 46.5

Plus I'm allergic to rainbow stripes. Doesn't quite match my physique or capability !!!!

Vaypour+ are the biz.

try put the shoes in the cart first, i dont think merlin ships vaypors to OZ, at least not the vaypor +

i tried some vaypors i got second hand from GT, luckily in my size too.

sole seems great, and i find the heel cup nice and snug without the need to over tighten

arch is a prob though, i have pretty flat feet and definitely notice it jab when standing, although i dont notice it as much when riding.

I mean i notice, but it dosnt hurt like it does when i walk around or stand in them.

I havnt tried moulding them yet as it dosnt really bother me too much at the moment.

Bugger, you are right !!!

Ribble also do Vaypor+ for about $330, but only black and they dont do half sizes

When heat moulding, be sure you check you're using the same temperature scale..... We had a customer destroy a pair of Bonts bcause he baked them at 160* C rather than 160* F....

Ironically, he's a chef.....

I do hope he didn't try and wear them straight away!

A chef overcooked his shoes. Ha, love it!

Tried on a pair of Bont Blitz (one velco and one Boa dial) in Adelaide yesterday (EU46), and they fitted will for length, although the RH foot had a rub point where the outer metatarsal meets the cuboid bone. It was very obvious indeed, but the left was fine !!!

I assume that the heat moulding will sort that out.

There was plenty of room in the toe box, and I like the flouro yellow colour. Price was $299 there (Whippets Workshop). Ribble has them only in B/W for $286.

I reckon the Blitz are better looking than the Vaypor (and a bit cheaper), so these may the ones I get. Vaypor+ are too exxy

[MichaelB]

Update : Ribble price I quoted above is not right. The Blitz are A$236, Vaypor are A$298, and the Vaypor + are A$328.

It seems though that only the Bl;itz and Vaypor+ are shipped outside of UK, as the Vaypor are listed as "Not available outside of UK". Took a pair of Blitz to all but one stage of checkout, so should work.

A$100 cheaper for black/white only ($239), or pay more (38%) for the Neon/Black ones locally ?

Am now a proud owner of a pair of Neon/Black Blitz from Whiipets workshop.

Need a bit of moulding, but they should be sweet. Thanks for everyone's inputs

My wife is a chef. Never seen anyone burn the arse out of so many pans


She doesn't read this forum, so I'm not that brave

Any one chasing size 46 Bont Vaypours? Purchased but just can't get the fit as much as I want them to. (I think it's due to extremely flat feet and no arch support I haven't heat moulded as with no arch it would make things worse)
