Bont shoe sizing

[mikesbytes]

I take a 43 in Shimano or Sidi, I'm looking at a 42.5 Bont MTB shoe. How is the Bont sizing vs Shimano and/or Sidi?

[qvack]

I use 44 in both Shimano (xc60) and bont (vaypor) but that's no guarantee that they'll all match.

I bought a cheap pair of riots ($89 posted from CE at the time) to test sizing then bought a pair of vaypors online. The bont size wizard suggested 42.5 and I can't really see how I'd ever have fit into those.

[mikesbytes]

Does seem odd that the sizing wizard would say 42.5 when you fit 44

[stevecassidy]

I'm 46 in both Shimano and Bont.

Their chart seems off, have worn just about every model of Bonts and have been the same in Bonts as I was in Shimano. Get what you normally get if in doubt or can't try on in person.

If only somebody carried a 49 and/or 49 wide I would've been all over them like a kid on a cupcake

Handy to know most people are wearing like for like sizes.

Only dale is wearing a different size. Dale is that due to width?

43 Shimano 43 Bont here. Tried a 42.5 Bont as per the wizard, too small.

Sounds like the bargain shoes are not a bargain unless I can try before I buy

Thanks guys/gals

was told by Bont rep they do a standard and wide fit?

I am a 44 usually and tried a 44 wide fit on and was too big. He suggested I go a standard fit and go up a size to 45

Standard, Wide and Narrow. Although anything but standard seems almost impossible to get in Aus. I had to order my wide Vaypor+ from the UK.

I found the Riots to be very wide out of the box for the standard shoe, much more than any other models.

a little but my foot just works in 47 bonts and 48 shimanos.. 47 shimanos are too narrow and a little too short for me.
