A luxury Sportive shoe combining classic materials with state of the art technology.

The Vaypor+ in 2016 takes a new direction combining a classic design;

  • With the luxurious yet uncompromising strength of a kangaroo leather upper
  • Supple cow hide internal lining
  • Bont Cycling’s industry leading carbon technology ensuring highest strength to weight ratio and lowest stack height
  • The anatomical perfection of Bont Cycling’s last to ensure correct fit
  • Bont Cycling’s technical innovations for improved efficiency and structural support
  • BOA’s IP1 Dual directional dial with quick release functionality
  • Both traditional and bold colour options

Features:

Heavy Duty Upper

The 2016 Vaypor+ is manufactured with a kangaroo upper to provide a supple yet extremely durable shoe. Kangaroo leather is renowned for its high strength, light weight and durability.

Details on the upper are embroidered to continue the classic theme.

Unidirectional Carbon Chassis

The Vaypor+ continues with its unidirectional monocoque chassis in matt finish and is upgraded with an improved grid to assist cleat adjustment.

Retention System

IP1 BOA dials are utilized on the 2016 Vaypor+. BOA’s premium series dial offers dual directional micro adjustability and quick release functionality.

TPU Toe Protector

The toe protector not only protects the front area of the shoe from wheel rub and impact, but also houses ventilation holes for improving airflow through the shoe.

Ventilation

The 2016 Vaypor+ is highly ventilated with integrated air vents on the front bumper providing direct airflow into the shoe along with perforated upper and tongue to maximise breathability.

Anti Stretch

Between the outer leather and the liner we add a material that is proprietary to Bont to stop the cycling shoe from stretching over time. This material has similar strength characteristics to Kevlar. The material is stitched to the outer leather and bonded to the liner so it can never move or be removed, it becomes part of the cycling shoes structure. This layer assits in pedalling efficiency by maintaining a supportive structure over the top of the foot in the upward part of the pedal stroke.

Last Design

A last is a replica of a foot that the cycling shoe is built around. Last makers do not make cycling shoe lasts, they only make shoe lasts so perfecting a cycling shoe last requires a great deal of expertise in functional biomechanics and ongoing research. At Bont, we have been perfecting our performance footwear lasts since 1975 and the process is ongoing. We believe we place more importance and thus place more effort into our last than any other cycling shoe brand and it is the reason that Bont cycling shoes continue to be a leader in providing the most functional and correct anatomical support to cyclists than any other brand on the market. Our motto in terms of cycling shoe fit is simple, ""We make shoes for cycling, not walking.""

Carbon Fiber

Bont carbon fiber is sourced exclusively from the world's #1 carbon manufacturer, Toray of Japan. The base of the Vaypor+ is made by hand utilizing uni-directional carbon fiber which is embedded with epoxy thermo setting resin. The fibers are hand laid in the matrix according to the strain they will have to bear. The Vaypor+ utilizes unidirectional carbon fiber allowing Bont to create a performance cycling shoe with very specific strength characteristics based on stress points in cycling. As unidirectional carbon absorbs less resin then cross weave fibers, it also assists in the weight reduction of the cycling shoes.

Padding

The Vaypor+ utilises closed cell memory foam that will not retain water assisting in maintaining a lighter shoe during wet conditions as well as ensuring sweat which can begin to break down the durability of the shoe is not absorbed.

Medial Longitudinal Arch Support

Structural medial longitudinal arch support is provided in all models to stop over pronation of feet.

Over pronation is one of the main contributors to incorrect tracking of knees during a cyclists pedaling phase due to internal rotation of tibia and femur. This can result in knee injuries.

In addition, the rotation of tibia/femur can cause the pelvis to tilt resulting in lower back strain.

Anatomical Forefoot Shape

Conventional cycling shoes offer a “dress shoe” type shaping. Although highly aesthetic this will cause the toes along with the metatarsals to be overly constricted, compressing the nerves between the metatarsals which often results in the common ""hot foot"" sensation.

Bont cycling shoes anatomical shaping allows the foot to function in its most efficient and anatomically correct position. The foot is supported in its endeavour to relax through the metatarsal joints allowing the pedalling force to be spread across the greatest possible surface area.

Anatomical Heel Cup

The anatomical heel cup shaping of Bont cycling shoes provides increased stability during the pull through stage of pedaling stroke and up stroke. This stabilization is achieved without any mechanical operation or over tightening of straps/laces allowing for increased comfort and blood circulation.

Lateral Forefoot Support

Bont’s lateral forefoot support ensures neutral positioning of the forefoot and alleviates common issues associated with over pronation and supination. These issues often result in incorrect tracking of knees causing injuries along with hip and lower back pain.

Excellent shoes

Very happy with these shoes, very light, and extremely stiff, yet surprisingly comfortable (likely due in part to the shape/last). Out of the box they fit well, but I may play around with heat molding to refine a bit further. The leather and overall construction seems to be of great quality. They have only seen trainer km's so far, looking forward to getting them outside for some longer rides.

Bont Vaypor +

Fantastic deal on fantastic shoes! Used the Bont Size size chart, and fit was spot-on. Great quality shoes, leather very luxurious. Heat molded twice in oven. Spot heating with hairdyer afterwards to tighten heel cups, and flare out lateral area of right foot. Using with SofSole FIT insoles. Insoles provided are flimsy, I gather they expect you to use your own for proper support, fair enough. Long trainer ride only so far, but felt great, superior power transfer. Can't wait to try on the road!

Love the Bonts

Ordered these on a recommendation from a friend who is an avid cyclist. Loved the orange colour scheme, the comfort is amazing. The only issue I had was sizing confusion. I was worried about ordering the wrong size and with nowhere to try them on. I did all the measurements on the Bont site and it was recommending 45 to me. I usually wear a 46 on almost everything else. I went with my gut and ordered the 46 which was a good thing. This matches shimano’s for fit for me anyways.

Almost perfect

Five stars would've been perfect fit right out of the box. But a couple of trips into the oven after some short test rides had the hot spots and pressure points sorted. After that process the shoes have been great. Love all the room in the toe box and what remarkable power transfer! And so comfortable even after yesterday's 92 degree day.

Stiff

Stiff, very stiff. The anatomical perfection to ensure correct fit was the main point of my purchased, and of course the wide fit suit asian legs very well.

Excellent shoe

Bont makes a truly excellent shoe! The materials are superior and the build qualities are outstanding. I suggest ordering a half size larger then you typically would. Example: I wear a 43.5 in sidi and I order a 44 from bont which fits perfectly. The shoe is stiff and roomie in the ball of your foot. I went with the orange and delivery took an addition two weeks. Besides increased anticipation due to my color choice probike kit delivered as promised at an great price.

Small

Much smaller and more narrow than exspected, the molding part is easy

Great shoes, great price

These shoes are really comfortable mainly because of the wide (ergo) toe box and moldable sole. I find them true to slightly small .5 of a size. The heels and BOA's are replaceable. The toes have a rubber bumper that allows the shoes to touch a tire on overlap and not mark them up. The price point available on PBK is cheaper than anywhere else I've seen. Great value.
