I still get SIDIs but I have to pull the velcro/belt/fastener all the way in order to get it snug.

There were some recent articles about their change in foot philosophy - https://cyclingtips.com/2022/05/spec...h-shoe-review/

This is also the first time I didn’t get some form of hot foot. As mentioned above, I did feel like I might have had to much room, but maybe my XXx are just almost too tight. Just need to get some insoles for the torches and i’ll be good to go.
They really pinched the side of my feet. This was last fall with the newest dual boa Torch shoe
