    I use Bont Sub 10's (I do triathlons).

    Was chatting to the guy in the shop I bought them from as they are stopping doing them. His reason was that when people tried them on next to Specialized or Sidi, they felt uncomfortable and as such were a difficult sell. He continued to say that it was a shame because every customer that had bought a pair and moulded them came back to say they were probably the best shoes they had bought.

    I have to agree - wasn't sure when I tried them in the shop, took them home, rode them a couple of times to help identify any hotspots / rubbing etc, then heated 'em up, moulded them and that's it - comfy, stiff (stiffer than S-Works shoes) and very well made.

    I know one guy with the A two's - he rave's about them?

    I believe Wiggins wears them too.
