I had just way too much volume in the toe area, so in order to keep the foot from sliding and the heel lifting, I had to crank the boa knob down much too hard, creating a bad fit situation. Kind of like when you get fitted with too large of a ski boot, and you have to crank the buckles down too hard to keep the foot in place. Like that. No good. I have to go down either a half or a full size, these Lakes run a full size bigger than Sidis or Shimanos it appears. Will try on smaller Lakes shortly and report back. Pretty surprised with the shoes, didn't realize I'd like them so much. Looking forward to riding them!
