I get what you are saying and I wish i had that option. I have wide feet. I never really considered myself to have WIDE feet, but standard shoes made my feet cram together. I love my S works shoe, but recently discovered that my small toe hung over the edge of the sole. I just figured my toes were crammed together a bit. I chalked it up to that just being cycling shoes. After researching the Bont brand, I was drawn to the shape of the shoe. The shape of the shoe was more intriguing to me than being able to mold them. The shape of the shoe allows your toes to lay our instead of cramming them together, unless of course you are lucky enough to have that shape of foot that can fit into most traditionally shaped shoes. Someone mentioned in my other thread about these shoes that it seemed like a big pain in the butt to have to mold and ride and mold and ride. I can see that point, but for me it is just another benefit IF needed. Which for me, I guess it is needed. Taking the time to mold them and get the shoe to fit me the way I want it to fit is a huge benefit. If I could walk into a store and where the shoes out of the box, I would. Thats not meant to have any sarcasm at all. With the recent discovery, that takes a lot of other shoes off the market for me.
