Bont Cycling cycling shoes usually elicit a strong reaction with many people swearing by them and others hating them. This love-it-or-hate-it reaction is usually because of the wide anatomical shape which gives the shoes a unique appearance and fit. The new Bont Vaypor 2023 shoes are the latest addition to the Bont Cycling lineup and offer a streamlined design, more adjustability and refined shape to accommodate a wider range of feet. The shoes retail for $ and feature a stiff unidirectional carbon sole with the latest dual BOA Li2 Fit System. Bont has also incorporated their upgraded Cobra9 insoles which feature a carbon core and dual density EVA foam. The new Bont Vaypor 2023 combines the signature features of Bont Cycling shoes into a more universally appealing shape. While the shoes are still quite wide and have the iconic wrap-around bath-tub style carbon sole, the design and shape is more in-line with other shoes on the market. Not only are these shoes quite a bit lighter than the flagship Vaypor S models, but they offer a simplified closure system and improved fit. Bont currently only offers the shoes in a white or black color option with color-matched BOA dials. We have the black versions here which have a sleek all-black look. Branding is limited to a Bont logo debossed into the side of the heels of the shoe, a BC on the heel and Bont Cycling printed on the sole. While we would have preferred brighter colors or reflective options, it’s an attractive design that can pair well with any bike or cycling kit. The most obvious visual change is that the Vaypor 2023 shoes have a simple three row cable routing system and standard center tongue instead of a wrap-around design. Each dial is a BOA Li2 which is BOA’s top option and features micro tightening and micro loosening for fine tuning the fit on the fly. These dials are also sleeker and slimmer than the previous iterations and can be found on most high-end cycling shoes these days. The top dial controls the ankle with a plastic hook on the top while the bottom dial has two rows to adjust the toe box. One of the big advantages of this traditional lacing pattern and separate tongue is that these shoes are easy to put and take off. You can simply loosen the dials and lift the tongue up to slide your feet in or out of the shoes. ...
