Finally, I went to town for some new shoes. Went to former Tour De France pro cyclist, Jostein Wilmann's shop, and tried on a couple of shoes, including Shimano r215b, Northwave Aerator and the Specialized S-Works DG Boa shoes.
The Northwaves didn't impress me at all, were way too tight, the Shimanos felt to much like my old ones, but the Specialized felt really like they were made for me. The boa system is perfect for my ankle, since it's rather tall. It was also the most comfortable of them all too.

Took them for a spin on the trainer today too, and they really were something different than my old Shimanos. Stiffness was really, really good, and it kept comfortable the whole time. Didn't experience any pain at all! The boa system is a great system, very easy to adjust to proper tension. Really a breeze to wear. Those body geometry things really work out well.

Pics!
