    anyone got any real world views on either?

    swayed by the 15% off Bont on Evans that ends today, or the XC90

    the Bonts are patent black, and the XC90 a more suble matte black (or Blue, which would clash terribly with my kit)

    so?

    Fit on the XC90 is in my opinion far better that that in the Bonts which when I tested I had to use Orthotics to get the fit right… I use the M315’s and they have been fantastic too!

    If the Bont’s fit you then I’d say its a no brainer, however the Shimano XC90’s are nice, and a lot of guys in our club have the blue ones as the match out kit!

    did the size guide on Bont – had them delivered to store at Evans – jesus christ they come up small! ordered a UK8 – no chance on left foot, right was “snug” – will try and find stock of a UK9 with “wide” fitting

    no wide fitting Bont’s special order and 2 month wait

    ordered xc90 in an 8 and 9 – 8 way too small and 9 too big

    don’t really want to pay full uk RRP for 8.5’s and the only place i can find them discounted is south korea 😕

    dirtyrider, out of interest, where did you get your XC90s? Germany? Fancy a pair but put off slightly by the pricing.
