Hey all, i'm looking to order some of the custom vaypor S shoes. The question i have is around the fitting process. I currently use insoles that provide strong correction on my foot position within the shoe as i have really collapsed arches, very wide feet (wider than double-wide) and some bunions to boot. I'm wondering what the best way is for me to do the casting/molding process so that the final shoes allow for me to use my corrective insoles? My fear is that if i just cast my feet as-is, the shoes that i will get back won't have enough volume and room inside in order to provide the right correction required. I've also asked Bont on this but i'm struggling to get a proper response.
I don't have bunions but wider than wide, higher arch and a bit collapsed arch. I ordered the full custom and got sent the molding socks. Failed at the first own attempt and asked for the 2nd pair. Bought it to the doctor and got him molding for me.
From that, I never looked at buying new shoes. Bont full custom forever.

Hey there, stumbled upon this thread while researching bont vaypor s shoes. I had regular size 47 and 48 here, with the 48 being way too wide and the 47 having lots of pressure points. Now I have 47 in wide here, but the heel is a tad loose. My main issue with the regular was mid foot width, so I guess asian fit should not be better in that regard. Is it possible to get the heel as tight as the regular 47 with the wide one, or should I maybe try the asian fit after all? Thanks for your input!
My warranty replacement Bonts shipped a month ago. They were sent from Australia to me in Europe, I assume because it was a warranty case and not a purchase. I have not received them yet though because they spent two weeks going through customs :/
Bont said that I should expect 10 weeks due to production time, but it turned out to be 6 weeks mainly in delivery time

Thinking of going back to Bont's, but want to try the Riots to see if my feet can handle Bont fit before spending for Vaypor +.
What do you guys think ? Same last between Riots and Vaypor ?
Anybody who owns both can share ?

Riot is slightly wider than Vaypor
I ordered Bont's new Vaypor insoles made by Cobra9 after Bont support confirmed they would work well with my double wides. They did not. The Vaypor insoles are very, very narrow and my feet can easily feel the edges. I emailed Bont support again with this feedback and received no response.
Luckily, I emailed Cobra9 themselves with this feedback and they were very gracious in acknowledging that a wider version was forthcoming and offered to send me a revised pair at no charge. This despite Cobra9 not being responsible for the mixup.
Full marks to Cobra9 for excellent service, zero marks to Bont for misleading product information and non-responsiveness.

In regards to the unreleased new models. I hope the insides are very "finished" like premium options. When I had the Vaypors I loved the fit but the inside was too rough for my sensitive feet and I could feel the seems at the end of the shoe. I loved everything else.
