"There are some "real thing" Detto shoes on ebay these days. I recall they ran rather small, but does anyone have a reasonable recollection of how small? For example, in modern, standard-fit shoes I wear a 46 mm. What size Detto's do I need?"
As a calibration point, I wear a US 10.5 E or EE. My 46 DPs feel pretty comfortable. I happen to have a pair of 45 NIB, and they're a bit tighter than I would buy today. But, Back Then we bought these things tight.
Larry Black at Mt. Airy Cycles (abikie@aol.com) had the lovely long Jacque Anquetil cleats, FWIW.
(but I don't use Patauraud straps...)
