BONT Shoe Fitting

BONT Shoe Fitting

Cycling shoes fitted around your feet, not shelf availability.

Unlike many cycling shoes that are not made to properly fit cyclists’ feet, BONT Cycling Shoes use high-quality designs, premium materials and sport-specific components to create a more precise fit.

Exercise Institute provides an in-person personal sizing assessment and fitting process, helping you order shoes based on your foot structure, riding needs and long-term comfort.

Why this matters.

Personalised

Built around your feet.

A Personal Sizing Assessment allows us to order a shoe based on what your feet require, rather than what happens to be available in stock.

Choice

Lengths, widths and custom options.

BONT makes various levels of cycling shoes in different lengths, widths and custom designs to suit a broad range of foot types.

Experience

Over five years fitting cyclists.

We have over five years’ experience fitting shoes to cyclists’ feet, including riders with different arch heights, toe patterns, bunions and other atypical features.

Personal Sizing Assessment

A more complete approach to cycling shoe fit.

We require you in person to measure your foot characteristics and review your existing cycling shoes. This allows us to understand your current fit, foot structure and any comfort issues before recommending a shoe.

The process considers length, width, foot anatomy, swelling during exercise and individual structural features so the recommendation is based on fit, not guesswork.

  • In-person foot measurement using a Brannock device.
  • Qualitative assessment of foot anatomy and structure.
  • Optional cleat setup replication using a fitting jig and stationary bike assessment.

FAQs.

BONT Shoes

What are BONT Cycling Shoes?

BONT shoes are made to fit cyclists’ feet more effectively than many standard cycling shoes.

For example, the average cycling shoe width is approximately 90mm wide, while the average cycling foot width is around 105mm. That can create around 15% compression of the metatarsals and contribute to neural impingement and discomfort, often described as hot foot syndrome.

BONT offers a range of models, lengths, widths and custom options, from entry-level shoes through to premium designs using materials such as kangaroo leather and sport-specific components.

Assessment

Why have a Personal Sizing Assessment?

It helps us recommend a shoe based on your actual feet, not just a size label.

We assess length, width and foot characteristics such as arch height, toe patterns, bunions and other individual features. We also consider that feet can swell in high temperatures and during long periods of exercise.

This creates a more thorough, multifaceted approach to shoe fitting and supports better long-term comfort on the bike.

Process

What is involved?

We measure your feet, assess your current shoes and recommend the right sizing pathway.

We take a foot sizing using a Brannock device and complete a qualitative assessment of your foot anatomy and structure before recommending the correct shoe size.

The shoes are then supplied based on your sizing and preferences for model, colour and other options. If required, we can also fit cleats to your new shoes, replicating your existing foot-shoe-cleat interface using a fitting jig and subjective assessment while riding a stationary bike at our facility.

Timeframe

How long will it take?

The Personal Sizing Assessment can take around 15 minutes.

Shoes are then either provided if in stock or ordered to suit. If shoes are in stock, they are dispatched and arrive within 3 business days. Otherwise, they are made to order from BONT directly.

The optional cleat fitting process can take around 30 minutes to correctly adjust and costs $50. New cleats are required for this service.

Cost

How much do BONT shoes cost?

We aim to be competitive while prioritising fit and comfort.

We try to beat recommended retail prices by 10% and remain competitive with online sale prices.

The process of measurement and ordering is designed to ensure your comfort and selection of shoes is optimal, rather than focusing only on heavily reducing the cost of the shoe.

Get the shoe right before the training load exposes the problem.

A good cycling shoe fit supports comfort, power transfer and long-term riding consistency. Book a sizing consultation and let us assess what your feet actually need.
