Dromarti race shoesJust in: Dromarti Race shoes
If you're looking for something a bit different in your road footwear, then it's worth checking out Dromarti's range of handmade Italian leather shoes. There's three models: the Storica, a classic clip-and-strap shoe; the Sportivo with SPD drillings and a bit of tread; and the one we've got our hands on, the Race, which is a rigid Carbon sole with a 3-point fixing married to a ventilated leather upper. It's a very, very lovely looking thing and well made to boot. £139 (plus £5.75 P&P) isn't cheap, of course, but you can spend a lot more on road shoes. All shoes are available in sizes 37 to 47. Watch this space for a review in the coming weeks. First impressions from our tester are... gushing.
See the range at www.dromarti.com

Radar tells me their closing speed, if they are slowing and how far away. Then I decide to say a prayer. The change of light pattern is incidental.

No, that's very doubtful while proper testing would be fully destructive.

Not so sure m'self. Don't think i'd spend 140 notes on 'em. Rather have some other Italian footwear Sidi - OOOHHH YEEESSSS
A really, really good look. Some combination of beautiful leather shoes, fitted but not clinging 3/4 length trousers, a plain coloured shirt with no writing on it and no nipple-chafing, sunnies and a nice hat and your average recreational club rider would be a happier person on the bike. The mpore of "this sort of thing" the better.
:o)
I agree. They look very nice indeed. Wonder whether they'll take standard Look cleats.
I reckon they'll look fantastic with my khaki Rapha merino jersey.
