XC Mtn Biking and Gravel shoe

I’ve got the Recon 3.0 and they feel great in a 42. The SWorks XC race shoe…not so much. I’ve tried to like them, but they always feel weird.
I think the stiffer and more race oriented, I may need to go up a little bit on the size.

Ordered some XC7s and those in 42 feel too small.
