Fairly TTS compared to most shoes. Compared to other Italian shoes, slightly longer and wider than Gaerne. Even wider and longer still compared to Sidi. The upper is pretty stiff when new and needs to be broken in.

So basically if your G.STL a just long enough, I would choose the same size in Nimbl. If the G.STL have a lot of extra length in the toebox, try a half-size down.
Do you wear the same size in Shimano and Gaerne? I wear a half-size larger in Shimano.

Does anyone know how the fit and sizing is compared to Bont and the S-works 7?
The ultimates are garbage shoes I will never purchase from Nimbl ever again. They couldn't make the carbon tub symmetrial, so the arch area and near the ball of the foot on the right shoe is inconsistent, causing weird rubbing and a sloppy feel. Also, the owner Frank is a liar when he said he would refund me, but then stopped responding after he received the shoes. I had to chargeback and got my money back. I got Bonts and they're wayyyyy better build quality.

On mine, the drilled out vents on the sole are clearly not even close to being in the same place on each shoe. It's kind of sad, really. I understand that a degree of handmadeness is "quaint," but this goes beyond that. The shoes simply aren't very comfortable on my feet. The collar is too high, there's inadequate heel retention and despite the toebox looking fairly round, it pushes my pinky toe in uncomfortably.raffyyy wrote: ↑Tue May 24, 2022 8:58 pmThe ultimates are garbage shoes I will never purchase from Nimbl ever again.

Anyone using Nimbls with Speedplay? I usually need cleats all the way back on most shoes, and the Speedplay adaptor plate doesn't always sit flat.
A bit of a long shot, but can anyone speak to Speedplay compatibility with small-to-medium-size Nimbls?

The price of these are sky high! I thought Bont was expensive but these are even more expensive.
