Can I ask the size/weight of their shoes to others who got a pair?
Weights without insole if you do have it.

Nimbl is a little bit wider than same sized Bont Vaypor S, but height is a little bit lower.
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.

That seems insanely low volume at the toe.
I was thinking that - where do actual toes go?

Maybe looks are intriguing. Like i said before: they fit me better than every other shoe i tried before.

and i didn't went for a bigger size. Same size as in Sphyre, torch, Vaypor, etc.

Size 43, deadstock out of the box, no cleats. Including the standard foam insole.

168.3 on the scale, I think the compression might have killed the image

Cleat's position is fixed on models I saw IRL, which was a bummer for me.
Is it possible to drill your own holes?
That is, are the nuts accessible from the inside (as they are on Bont)?
Based on that I've seen in some videos so far you can take out the insole,
but there seems to be another layer on top of the carbon sole?
If so, can that be easily removed?

Man I would not want to be drilling holes in £500 shoes

Could you do another photo with an overview of the width? Standing between Bont Vaypor S or Nimbl Ultimate, but curios about the width.
According to sizing I should have 40,5 in Nimbl, 41 in Bont. Coming from S-Works Ares in size 40.

In table size chart Nimbl is less wider then Shimano (which was not wide).

I've contacted Nimbl about getting shoes without drilled holes. First reply after a bit more than a week:

if we ship the shoes without the holes drilled, how can you use them?

Funny -- I told them I would drill the holes myself and asked again -- no answer.

2 Weeks later I tried once more, this time the answer was that they cannot ship shoes without all the holes already drilled.

Hmm, the FAQ says:

All our shoes are handmade and typically made to order.

Why can't they omit the "drill many holes" step?


Last, but not least, they refuse to answer my question about not charging VAT for shipping to my location even though I quoted the (Italian!) regulation for that (which I found on a bill from Extralite).

Considering how expensive the shoes are I would have expected a bit better "support" - but at least they answered.

About the VAT detail, they need to have their commercial office to take care of it with specific paperwork.
Extralite probably is used to do it, while they are not.

I recently bought the Nimbl Ultimate, and they now come with adjustable three holes (almost like shimano 903).
They are very wide, and wider than for example S-works Torch and Ares. Haven't tried 903, but 902 was to small for me.

Can you show me a photo from underneath the shoe?
