Hello Martin ,
Those shoes !
Beauty !
They are spectacular !
And somehow , that very-very large web-page address worked perfectly ! How did you make that happen ?
Thanks so much for sending that address .
Seriously , would you like to be the agent in Deutschland , who sends these shoes to the U.S.A. ?
I think if you arranged some small discount from Manufactum , for buying several pairs at once , then added in a fee for yourself ( profit ) , and also charged a fee for the postage to the U.S.A. , you could make some people in the U.S.A. very happy !! !!
If those shoes feel as wonderful as they look , they must be fantastic !! !!
Where do I get in line to buy some of these shoes ??
Size 45 please , thank you .

> LSH> Y'all know, this pedal/toe-clip thing - the problem isn't that - the
problem is the darn SHOES. What shoes do y'all wear? I love my Campy
pedals w/ clips/straps - as far as I'm concerned, this
> LSH> is the way to go, even with a modern made bike. Another prob is wide
feet - even if I wanted to go to modern pedals (won't) most of the shoes are
too narrow. I have found an old model of shoes
> LSH> that fit me and into clips/straps wonderfully, but they won't last
forever. I also have a pair of the Sidi's that Rivendell sold (should've
bought two pair!). Why, with the numbers of riders

someone who makes shoes to accomodate? And in a wider sizing? AND with old
style cleats that just fit on the rear cage of

that could just modify an existing model to have lacing (and maybe a top
cover that is velcro-ed to "smooth the

here. Long live real pedals.
