Finally bought wider shoes to help relieve my feet. The S-Works are too narrow and I always pain & numbness in my feet. The Bont are super wide giving my feet plenty of space. I will try them on for the first time tomorrow on a long & hard ride :thumbup:

The Bont are the same lenght as the S-Works, but sized at 46 vs 45 for the Sub6.

What is the length and width of your feet and how long did it take you to get these shoes ordered in cause I know they dont stock wide at least in Canada?

Mavic Comete Ultimate II. Absolutely incredible shoe. This is a sz. 11 that didn't fit, for sale in the classified section. My sz. 11.5 should hopefully be here next week :)
