Hello,
Can someone recommend a link to all genuine leather racing shoes? Are they made anymore? Yes, I'm aware of their shortcomings, but ask anyone who ever owned a pair and they
will tell you that nothing is more comfortable once broken in.
Thanks a lot

I know what you mean. If I could get cycling shoes to fit as well as climbing shoes it would be a dream. I wonder if La Sportiva has ever considered making bike shoes?

Sidi and Carnac are the usual suspects for traditional touring shoes, but they may have switched to Lorica. There are some custom shoemakers around, one advertises in the back of the Cyclists Touring Club magazine.

There are special climbing shoes? Are you serious?
