Bont Riot+ Shoes

I have quite a wide fore foot but a narrow heel. Always struggle with shoes. Got the Bont Riot + because I’d read they are good for a wide foot. They were unwearable out of the box. Carbon foot bed too tight at the front and under my foot arch. It was digging into my foot. I agonised over what to do but ultimately decided to take chance and bake them. I used a screwdriver handle to push out the foot bed in the areas it was tight. They still feel tight ish to stand in and not massively comfortable, but when on the bike they are perfect! Best fitting bike shoe I’ve had.
Size wise I matched the size I previously wore using Specialized shoes: 46.
