Before you go purchase these road shoes, go check out my review. I really wanted to like these shoes. Coming from riding a few other shoe brands before these I decided to give the new Bontrager XXX shoes a crack. Out of the box, they are beautifully designed with perforation all around the shoe to keep your foot cool. The problem for me was riding them for several hours across the 3 months I’ve owned them. Yeah the XXX’s are super stylish and outfitted with the latest cycling tech, however, they are not well suited for riders who need more volume in a shoe. For me, road shoes have to feel comfortable the moment I slip them on and can stand the test of long rides. Feet shape and size can influence what shoe is the best for you. I did want to like these shoes, but unfortunately, I will have to go with another brand as the XXX’s gave me hot spots and were just too narrow for me.
