I used a pair of Detto Pietros (sp?) leather road shoes for years before I wore them out. They had the old style leather sole with steel shank insert. The newer Dettos had a hard plastic sole that will last much longer and the cleats bolted on instead of being nailed in place. You will enjoy these shoes a bunch, I'm sure, but be sure to loosen the toe-strap before you come to a stop! It is embarassing to fall over at a stop sign because your foot won't come out.
Also, it's a good idea to treat them with a little neatsfoot oil once in a while.
Best wishes!
