If the toe is too narrow or the instep is too low, the shoe may not fit your foot shape. Italian shoes are often a problem for high instep feet, but UDOG is more in line with the American upper shape.<br \/>\nThis is in line with the overall trend of cycling shoes, with a wide toe box and a narrow, high heel cup.<\/p>\n<p>This shape and the knit upper work very well together and feel like you are wearing sneakers. Some shoes from other brands may be tight at first, but after using them, they will adjust to your feet, but DISTANZA will adjust to your feet from the beginning.<\/p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-33630\" src=\"https:\/\/lovecyclist.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/udog-distanza_13.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1365\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lovecyclist.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/udog-distanza_13.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/lovecyclist.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/udog-distanza_13-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lovecyclist.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/udog-distanza_13-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/lovecyclist.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/udog-distanza_13-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/lovecyclist.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/udog-distanza_13-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/lovecyclist.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/udog-distanza_13-272x182.jpg 272w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: center; line-height: 1.5;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12px;\">The upper, called &#8220;3D engineered mesh,&#8221; has different weave patterns in different areas.
