Pretty sure someone posted about these here before and that they were absolute garbage and nothing like the Bonts. From what I recall the posted commented that they were very flexy and not wide at all.

These arent the "bodoo" bont style shoes, these are "wildto" brand, which I'm pretty sure is the same brand as santic. Could be wrong thou

try these and never go by the size liste. Always go by the insole length in cm and compare to your feet length in cm.

Hey! Anyone tried the WILDTO Bont style shoe https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005011905580265.html ? Looks prety good.

This is a different shoe. Supposed to be made by Santic. I wonder what's the weight and stiffness though.

Wait another week and I will tell you. I decided that the best way to test is to test it myself. Expectations here are about 2 of 10.

Can you make a follow up? How are they?

I've been using the sidebike 028 for a few months and really like them. Fits like most chinese brands so as long as you don't have overly wide feed they should work.

I am really truly blow away by the quality. From the sizing to the fit its all absolutely spot on and as per the charts. Extremely stiff and carbon soled shoes arent for everyone, so make sure this is what you are after. So is the "bath tub" design of the last which is the same as Bont shoes. These are the highest model of the Bonts for fraction of the price. I have around 2000km on these shoes this year. Love them.

Pardon my skepticism, but have you put any significant riding time on high-end Bonts, or any high-end Western-brand carbon-soled road shoes? Twice now I've seen Bont-alikes on Aliexpress that significantly underperformed the real thing for not much less than the Bont sale price, and IIRC in at least one of those cases the reviews were chockablock with buyers swearing up and down that these were just as good. To clarify, neither of those cases was this specific pair of shoes, I'm just generally skeptical after having been burned twice.

I have used Bont Vaypor for last 3 years. They were beat up and not "pretty" anymore. I wanted to get another pair, but didnt want to spend the money if I didnt have to. These ones I bought, lack nothing and cost me 3rd the price of Bonts. I have put maybe 20K km on the Vaypors, not sure if this will classify as having some experience or not.

Sweet, okay, good comparison then. Thanks.
