Great video. Clear & easy to follow. 👍
Thanks man! Appreciate the feedback and glad it was easy to follow along 👍
greatest video for bont shoes. thanx a lot
OMG! This is a GEM! Awesome vid SOC!
Love my Bont shoes!! Great video, Great shoes!!
Appreciate that, thanks!
I can't recomend it but what ive found is if you want to widen bont's toe box it will take alot more then there 160f. even heating them to say 180f for 20 mins you will be lucky to get that outside tub to move. using a heat gun or hair dryer and pint pointing the heat is much more effective and less risky for the rest of the shoe. If you use a heat gun just take it slow as its very easy to get to hot way to fast
I’ll try it. It’s not moving like you said
Great video dude. Well covered and well explained 👍🏼💯
Great video, very clear instruction!, I have a question; how does the heat molding works with custom carbon insole? or the new molded shape will form to support my arch and metatarsal? Thank you
I would try to heat mold them with the custom carbon insoles and see how that works. Remember you can mold them as many times as you like. I just got another set and ham having a difficult time with them. I literally have them in the over as I type this and this will be the 9th time. Just make sure you stay within the recommended time and temp when placing them in.
Love the detail! Thank you brother
Hope it helped!
Excellent products …
Awesome video! How much time is it recommended to wait before reheating the shoe? Thanks
I'd wait 20 min in between heatings. So heat for 20 min at the recommended temperature, take out and mold or make your adjustments. That will usually take 15-20 min. So once that 20 min has passed, feel free to throw them back in for another 20 min heat session.
Hi. I noticed at the end of the video you didn't put cleat washers. Is that recommended? Ty.
Dang it, lowest temperature of my hoven Is 100 degree Celsius.... any suggestion?
Good Evening from Saudi Arabia. I just got my Bont Helix. I’m getting pain on the bone just below the ankle bone. Will heat molding help me be able to lower the top of the shoe?
Yes it should help. Right now the stock shape is simply pushing into your foot. By molding your shoe, it should shape it properly.
I got 3 pairs of Bonts 23/24. Vapor S and Vapor +. I cooked them to perfection and the fit is perfect. However, the left shoe, when I start riding, feels like a screw or something is picking from the inside right at ball of the foot. I inspected the shoes and they are perfect; it is just my foot. After sometime ridding numbness/discomfort start. Any idea what is it?
I am avoiding the use of custom insoles. As I mentioned they fit perfect, putting different insoles takes away volume. Any ideas?
P.S. I am already using cleats all the way back.
Question....
I have a minor bunyon on the inner part of my left foot. The tub area of this shoe rubs a bit in that spot. My question is, during the heat molding process, any idea how much pushing out with the end of the screwdriver will the shoe/carbon take?
It'll take way more than you can put into it!

You forgot rule#4: Tell your wife to go shopping for the day! ;)
ahh shoot I forgot to edit that in lol
rule#5: Don't give away the price of the shoes when handing the credit card to the wife! 😂
wife? have you seen his eyebrows
If I have the Vapor G shoes do I need to remove the medal plate that the cleat screws into of no?
It doesn't feel to me like the sole is very pliable even after 20 minutes at 170F. Do you normally feel noticeable changes in the shape of the sole while heat-molding? Even while pushing with a screwdriver handle it doesn't feel like I'm really affecting the shape of the carbon fiber tub. Thank you for any advice you can offer.
I have the same question
My oven's minimum temp is 170. Any proposed solutions?
Same
You should be able to set it lower than the minimum on the dial (unless it's digital?) i use an over thermometer anyway as i don't necessarily trust an oven to tell a precise temp, so just set it low an dial temp in on the thermometer.
Hello i would like to ask if it can be fix long size bont but the wide is exactly right
The adjusting didn´t worked. I have Boa system, after the heat process 20 min and 160F. None of the 4. kept open, rotate but not adjusting.
Do I need to stand on something soft while letting them cool/mold? Folded up towel maybe?
no, you dont need to stand on anything soft.
Do you find you have to use a more supportive insoles? Or the insoles provided will heat mold as well?
Anyone know if we could heat mold an S-Works Sub 6 shoe? Like can this work with other high end road cycling shoes as well?
I don’t believe so mate, I am under the impression it’s to do with the resin in the carbon layering that allows bonts shoes to be malleable
No way
Mun nga fit keun kana sukuna dikulub make cai panas bisa teu mang
The lowest heat setting on my oven is 170°F. Will this make a difference, should I lower the baking time?
Sorry for late reply. 170 is fine. Mine also has 170 as its lowest setting. I do mine for 18 minutes and then mold.
do you know why they have you remove the insole?
Hot tip: make sure the shoes aren't touching one another!
yeah good call!
@@sonofacyclist2744 I learned this the hard way
i realize Im kind of off topic but does anyone know of a good place to watch new tv shows online?
@Maison Cory i would suggest Flixzone. You can find it on google :)
@Colten Hank definitely, I have been using FlixZone for since march myself =)
I followed this process to the letter with a new pair of Riot TR+ triathlon shoes. All that happened is that the glue holding the upper to the sole melted. The shoes are now useless.
Thanks! Dig your ig account. Funny stuff.
Or you could get shoes that fit??
Custom fit requires heat moulding, most brands offer this
I did this 3 times... but the shoes still gave me blisters after only 40 km... then I released that they are just awful shoes! Super light... but Super uncomfortable. I switched to fizik... not heating required and perfect fit! ❤️
Not every shoe is meant for every foot. Do you think you possibly got the wrong size/width to cause the blisters? While it is unfortunate that the shoe didn't work for you, I'd hardly say the shoe is awful. At the end of the day, I'm glad you ended up with a shoe that you find more comfortable though.
Bagging something and calling it awful because it doesn't suit you is a pretty low act. I find that a lot of other shoes don't fit my foot but don't call them an awful product because they're not.
I wonder how you treat women...
hi
To those who planning to mold their bont shoe. I suggest you remove ALL the accessories as much as possible! I used to own 3 pairs bont(vaypor+,zero and the xc) the rubber heel and those mounting hardware on the zero and xc just felt apart, only the unmold vaypor+ is able to last until this day. Again..their insole just doesn't match the price we paying for🤮 #bontcycling
obviously I dont know the steps you took to heat mold your shoes, however I can assure you that you do not need to take all the other parts of the shoe. just asking not judging, but are you sure you sued the recommended heating? Anything above can do damage that you are describing. Did you use a cookie sheet or did you place directly on the over rack? Sorry to hear you had difficulties molding yours. I have had 13 pair of Bont shoes over the years and heat molded each one 4-8 times each without any issue at all. So I'm interested as to what went wrong with your process.
All bonts i did it Ss2 pedalspot, Malaysia. Follow exactly the same procedure! Idk whether their selling those reject stocks or whatever but its a unpleasant experience
did you singe your eyebrows when you opened the oven?
You forgot to tell me that you need to remove the plastic part on the heels
I can't unsee his eyebrows
OMG. I just put them 10min at 60C and it destroyed them😭 €150 to the trash 🗑 😱
What do you mean destroyed them? If you put them in at recommended temp and only for 10 min, it shouldn't have done much of anything since you're supposed to leave them in for 20 min.
@@sonofacyclist2744 Yes exactly, they shouldn't have had any damages i thought, but it did. And Bont refused to refund them! What a waste 😭
Try an oven thermometer next time
Lol he never heat moulded them.
