There are a fair few that do and rate them as a very good value boot, but they didn't suit me due to having narrower feet. I've heard they do stretch over time.

I have an OMP Nomex pair for track and some Adidas for driving/social. Had them a few years and I'd rate both highly, not cheapest but all leather.

That's interesting that they are to wide for you , I have a wide foot. I was looking at the Piloti range but every pair I've tried on have been to narrow for me and I don't want to spend hundreds of pounds on a pair of boots that are uncomfortable to wear

It's a pain when there's no where close to trt before you buy.

Have a word with Luke to see if you can have some Racelidz sent to try. He's usually very helpful.

Demon tweets were very good with me for swapping incorrectly fitting boots.

I have wideish feet and I have a pair of these.

They are so, so comfortable.

I was hoping to be able to find a pair at the classic car show at the NEC last November but there was hardly anything there so was thinking I might have more luck at autosport but I don't think my current shies will last that long
