Need to see if they’re worth it or I just get S-Phyres. How are they in terms of fit and cleat positioning?

I think their pricing is just a bit high but they are great shoes and exactly what you would expect. If you like the bathtub type shoe then youre good. If not, the the Shimano might be best.

Go a half size up from your normal size.

Cleat's position is fixed on models I saw IRL, which was a bummer for me.
Never tried Shimano, big fan of Fizik shoes from ages but gave it a shot at Nimbl.
Long story short, for long rides, my choice will always be Fizik.
A little bit more play in Nimbl cleat holes would be great.

I have Lake and Nimbl and like both of them.
Nimbl are very stiff.

Coming from Bont Vaypor, S works torch, RC902, the Nimbl Exceed is the best fitting shoe i ever had. Besides this obviously very personal thing, they seem to be long lasting as well and the material cleans very easily. Over 20k km and they're looking almost new. Can't say that for the Vaypors or Torch, which get stained very easily and material colors turns to "off white" fast.

How wide is the toebox of the Nimbl's compared to Lake and Bont's?B0tt0mline wrote: ↑Sat Dec 30, 2023 8:08 pmI have Lake and Nimbl and like both of them.

Lower than a Vaypor S? The Vaypor S is pretty much the lowest toe box on the market - hence why they made it significantly taller in the Vaypor 2023 to fit more people. If it's lower than that I can't imagine it'll fit too many people.

a little bit wider, but I would still size up.AM7Jeremy wrote: ↑Sun Dec 31, 2023 4:57 pmeins4eins wrote: ↑Sun Dec 31, 2023 7:58 amComing from Bont Vaypor, S works torch, RC902, the Nimbl Exceed is the best fitting shoe i ever had.

Lakes and Bonts are already wide as is. Nimble's are even wider?B0tt0mline wrote: ↑Sun Dec 31, 2023 8:41 pma little bit wider, but I would still size up.AM7Jeremy wrote: ↑Sun Dec 31, 2023 4:57 pmeins4eins wrote: ↑Sun Dec 31, 2023 7:58 amComing from Bont Vaypor, S works torch, RC902, the Nimbl Exceed is the best fitting shoe i ever had.
