Thanks!
The shoes are Sidi Titaniums. They're mesh/leather uppers with thick leather soles. They have a titanium shank and cleat plate for the really old-school three-bolt cleats. Really nice fit - even better than the fit of the touring shoes. If only the cleats weren't so hard to find - and so dear.
I was riding my Sidi Touring shoes most of the summer, but when I pressed the Ti pair back into service I found more stability and speed
