I can't offer you any fitting advice other than to say that a thicker insole works better for my feet. If I downsize half a size then the shoe becomes too short and can irritate my ankle. So I use a thicker insole (stock insole plus a thin cork layer for the forefoot) for a perfect fit.

Mine are holding up great with absolutely no wear issues. The white color is still pure white. S-Works has done an excellent job with this shoe.

Sounds reasonable. One more question: how to fix insole inside? I found that insoles slightly moving inside shoes.

Hmm. I don't have this issue. If the insole is sized appropriately it shouldn't move.

Decided to return Exos and vent back to dull S-Works 7. Too low in inseam.

Any past/current owner of EXOS shoe can help to provide long term user feedback? Primarily interested to know about long term durability.

No issues at all two years on. I just bought a pair for my wife. Both of ours are in the color white. I use mine for gravel riding as well.

Thanks! That's good to know. It's probably the "cheapest" way to lose 300g on the bike as a whole with rider :D

That's a whole can of worms. lol. Packed pockets, heavy insulated water bottles, heavy shoes, etc. and worrying about 30g component differences.

After 3 years my Exos in black are still an amazing and super comfortable shoes. Since a few weeks I have also a pair of S Works Torch shoes in deep marin blue with a custom painting on. They look amazing too, but compared to the Exos - at least so far - they are for sure less comfortable and don`t look so elegant. Interesting that in the Pro Peloton I have never seen somebody riding with the Exos.

From time to time I still found online somewhere a pair of the limited Exos 99. If somebody perhaps would know about a pair of 44,5 or 45, please text me. Still I would love to have them.
