Is It Just Me, Or Are These Bontrager RXL's Really That Good?
So, I get them home and installed the Look Delta cleats. I put on some cycling shorts and set up the Kestrel on the TechMag 6 trainer. I put on the new shoes and hopped onto the bike. WOW!!! Instantly, I felt the power that the RXL's help generate. They're very stiff, which I like, but extremely comfortable. I felt like I was wearing an old, broken-in pair of shoes.
Even though I've had just a short time wearing them...so far, I am thoroughly impressed!
This is the exact model and color that I have...

I bought a pair of RLs last month, they are pretty comfortable if I dont wear socks, but tight in the toes if I wear athletic socks.but even with that they work well on the bike with the Speedplays.
Next pair will deff be 44s not 43s.
I need to find some very thin wicking socks, and I should be ok.
I wanted the Hyvis yellow, but lbs only had black in 43 (which fit ok in the store, must have been a skinny foot day)
But the black looks much better with my bike.

My Bontrager mountain biking shoes are awesome, so I am willing to bet those are, too!
