Trying to decide between the S Works Torch and Bontrager XXX.
Length wise they're both good.
The XXX are a narrower snugger fit. I notice it by my little toe. Doesn't feel scrunched or anything but the shape of the shoe lends itself to me feeling it more in that area. Went for a quick 45 minute ride, it didn't cause any pain in that area and the rest of my foot felt fine as well.
The S Works Torch has a wider fit to them. Not loose or anything like that. The material seems more supple and I could every so slightly rotate my foot side to side more in these. In the XXX, the material feels thicker, and it's just more snug up against my foot so not as much movement there.
The toe box in the XXX also feels narrower/the material is closer to my toes. I can feel the shop on my little toe and I guess the top of my foot in general, the Torch, I don't feel it up against my feet really at all.
So not sure if I should want something with a snugger fit (like a ski boot, snug but comfortable) or the best fit is something I don't really feel?
Anything else I should be looking/feeling for in terms of fit and performance?
