So I'm geeking out looking for some starting points to research. Looking for a good, fast speed suit for the bike and some shoes that are relatively light weight but also somewhat aero. Give me some suggestions please. Thanks

Get shoes that fit, then worry about aero. Nothing slower than numb feet.

Castelli Body Paint 3.3 or the NoPinz trip suit.

The lace up Giro shoes and Specialized generally test well and are pretty light.

Wondering about the Bont Zero +. With the lace cover they "look" aero. Any thoughts?

I got the bont's some weeks ago. I love them. The insole is really stiff and the boa laces also make getting them on really fast and easy.

The "only" problem was to put them on during T1. You need practice because the shoes are really stiff, you need to have some kind of technique so you don't have to stop (and get off the bike) to get your feet in.

Good luck!

Why not just go all-in and get a Bont Crono?

For road TT or Tri?
Will more aero shoes make up for the time spent lacing them up and waddling out of T1?
