Subject: [CR]Followup on Diadora Voyageur Shoes

Someone had asked a few days ago about the Diadora Voyageur shoes. I rode a pair of these home and back yesterday with toe-clip pedals. They are a fairly comfortable shoe, and rigid enough to prevent pedal soreness, but not so rigid that you can't walk in them. They also have a rocker sole to make walking easy. They are as traditional a shoe as you can get these days, being all black with perforations, but they are a two-velcro-strap shoe and not lace up. They have slots for pedal cages, and also have a place for SPD cleats. A a bit of a roudy toe compared to older Italian shoes, so fit American feet well. A little reflective patch on the heel. Sizing is typical of Italian shoes. They fit just like Sidis to me. These may become my main commuting/touring shoes. I give them two toes up. You can view them at Diadora's site at http://www.gitabike.com/pro_di/di_voya.html, and I have them in stock (selling fast though, will have to reorder soon!)
