Laces are better

I absolutely love my Distanza lace up gravel shoes. They are the most comfortable best fitting shoes I have ever owned. The laces hug my instep and my heel is secure with plenty of room to wiggle my toes. I have very long low volume feet. I don't need a special insole and they fit great. I was expecting the same for my Centos. Somehow, the shoe seems a half size larger even in the same size. The lack of arch support is noticeable and I'm searching for the right insole to give me support while not forcing my foot out of the heel cup. The top dial doesn't seem to do very much to help with fit - it seems like it doesn't hug the instep in the same way as the laces do. The side/ back dial does all the work and I find that I need to ratchet it very tight to keep my foot stable. Based on this experience, I would likely buy lace up road shoes, even for racing and I would skip the new gravel shoes with dials. It's possible that I could find a magic insole that makes the difference, but I was expecting so much more from these shoes.

Cento review

All was great but the heel cup is too large, my foot slips put and if I attempt to tide the Ratchet on top puts too much pressure on my foot. I own S Phyre, Time Osmos and S Works Torch, all 3 are supper secure and tide around the heel, fix that and you have a winner. Ciao
