One thing that really annoyed me with both the Ares and Exos (both of which I had to sell ) was that they say that they are the same sole = should be similar fit, but they all fit VERY differently.
The SW7 are the best shoes I’ve ever had, no issues at all.
EXOS = way way smaller over the instep than the SW7, and since there is no stretch in the material, there is nothing to do…
Ares = narrower than SW7 right between the forefoot and heel area, in line in arches.
Both shoes felt super nice when sitting down on a coach trying them, but horrendous on the bike when actually using them. Really wish I could use them.
