Bont Vaypor + Issue

Hello,

Looking for some advice if you also have Bont Vaypor + shoes...

I measured both my feet as per the instructions on the Bont website - ordered them - they arrived - tried them on and one of them feels like my toes are rubbing against the front of the shoe. They are a size up from my usual sizing. Not too sure if it's because they're new and feel different or because they have the Ergoshell type sole.

Anyone have experience of these shoes?

Cheers,

Al

    if your toes are touching the end, i'd say they are too small

    did you add a few mm to your measurement to allow for socks and a bit of wiggle room?

    Toes should not be touching the front, it is possible to order different sizes of shoe for left and Right from their website,

    Pretty sure they state to add 3-5mm or so to your measurement then take that figure and compare it to the chart of sizes. The foot needs room to spread out and swell. Make sure you get the correct width as well. Bonts are designed as such that they shouldn’t squash your feet in like some other brands.

    When I got my Vaypors one of my toes was rubbing, I thought it was the shoe but turns out a bit of glue from the front toe bumper had come through the vent and was sticking right into the end of my toe, clipped it out and all was good. Maybe worth having a look inside to see if it's something similar?
