Comfy, Bulletproof

Bought these to upgrade from an earlier model of the Recon 2.0, and they've solved a lot of the issues I had. The shoes just outright fit better, they're stiffer, and feel like they breathe a little better. Been using these primarily as gravel racing shoes, and I'm really pleased. I was going to keep the old Recon 2.0s as backups, but I may just break down and get another pair of these.

Really nice shoes but the fit is very different than previous models

I have the last version Recon 3.0 and also the previous version S Works Recon. (All size 49) This new version is substantially wider in the forefoot and allows your foot to move around a lot more in the front of the shoe. And I have wide feet. Not that this is a bad thing, but in my case I found that I had to tighten the BOA's a lot tighter that created some numbness. Maybe I need to play more with insoles. The heel area does a great job of retention. New 3.0 is 25g heavier than the older 3.0 but far more robust. The sole is also is a great upgrade from the previous version and seems like it will last longer. Of course I have 49's in the clay color and look kind of like clogs.
