Does anyone know if the toe box stretches with use (or persuasion !) (2016 model) as the size i have tried is just a little to narrow and low in the toe.

Very minimal stretching. If they feel narrow you should size up.

yes, I've put them on in store and I found them quite narrow. They should have the same shape as the boa sworks shoes but the boa sworks shoes seemed a bit wider.
they are extremely light though.
But I could be wrong

I just got a pair of the SW6 in wide & they fit amazing. They are an E width in the toebox, standard in the heel.

I doubt it. I have tried two pairs of the 2015 model 42.5 and 43, both kill my toes.
Moving on to Bontrager RL which has more room for toes.

I just bought some sub 6s, but can't tell what width they are. Box says RD. Don't know if that means anything. Any ideas???

Yeah that makes sense. Question is how do I know the width? I don't see any markers.

I have wide feet Specialized products are too small for me.
But, The performance seems excellent.

Good to know they got narrower. I have size 13 and it seems many brands (besides Sidi) think that your feet become EEE as they get above size 10.

I've used my white Sub6 for a week now. Really nice. But the normal Sworks6 is tighter and better performace. Not as cool and light so Sub6 is the way :D
