Trying to decide between the three shoes in the title. Suffered from foot pain the last few years so comfort and cushion would definitely be a top priority. The Lotto sound like maybe the best in the reviews but they're sold out of my size everywhere. The Torneo doesn't have a TW review yet but the user reviews seem very positive. Curious if anybody had experience with any of these and recommended one over the other. If the Lotto is significantly better I may consider waiting for more to show up. Thanks!

Both good for cushioning... you just need to determine what is the best fit

Start with which shoes you have already tried from the past, and which ones you liked or didn't like, then work from there. Very hard to just telepathically be able to tell you what you should or should not do with literally no details.

I guess you do not live in USA since otherwise you would just be able to try the infinite selection then return the unsatisfactory ones risk-free.

What kind of foot do you have? Torneo are significantly wider than Lotto in my opinion

And in my opinion Torneos are slightly narrower than Raptors;) I play in both.

EDIT: I have just compared the original insoles. They are exactly the same width in the forefoot, however the Raptors have a rounder finish in the tip of the shoe, while Torneos are more angled and pointy. So probably that's the reason why they feel slightly narrower.

Perhaps an arch issue. Mine are high and the Raptors pinched. Torneos do not
 
Thanks to all who replied. I'd say I have a pretty average foot. Never needed a wide before, but definitely not a narrow foot either. Coming from an Ubersonic now that are a out 3-4 years old. I like them fairly well. Had some Barricades before that and those for fairly well but maybe slightly narrow for me. Maybe I'll just order the ones I can get (US3 and Diadora) and keep the one I like better. I feel like I'll always wonder about the Lottos though.

Can you please post pictures of these?
 


I also compared the Torneos and the B.Icon insoles. The Icons are visibly narrower in the forefoot, around 2mm. However they have a rounder finish in the tip of the shoe, more like Raptors. I haven't played in the Icons yet and I will probably return them, they are too tight for me in the forefoot (I like playing with two pairs of socks).

The Diadora are wider in the back and the middle though!The Lotto shape reminds a lot of the GR8,long but narrow.

These are the same or different sizes in US sizing?
 
I have the raptors and blushield 5s (similar-ish to tourneos) and the gr8. Imo the raptors and BS5 are far superior to the gr8. They hold the foot better and provide far better cushioning. I love them both although would pick the BS5 for stability and cushioning alone. I think the BS5 are slightly wider so they may fit my wide-ish feet better. I got them in the same size however (tts) however would size up for the raptors if I get them again.

I have same issue in Raptors. I bought from Lotto website and full size up (website says go up half a size). For first 2 days used these for walking tied up loose and no problems then. but laced up tight during match and problem started. Love the cushioning and energy return, but can't use these if I get this much pressure on my foot. I am gonna play in raptors once more after walking in them for couple of weeks.
