I've got a pair of absolutely new, never had cleats installed, custom Rocket R7 road shoes for sale. My friend had them custom made but the size got buggered when he faxed the shape of his foot to rocket (something about automatic image reduction). The size is listed as 40.5 but they're smaller and my wife and I guess around 39-39.5.
Two things went wrong with the shoes. They had a special scale to print out to measure ones feet and my printer automagically scaled the image to better fit the page. Secondly, since these are meant for elite atheletes, I think my cushy socks weren't part of the formula. Anyway, my guestimate now that I've tried to analyze the situation is that they are about 39-39.5 with thin socks. I'll venture that with thin insoles and a reasonable pair of socks, they'd work for you.
These things go for ~$470 a pair new for the stock sizes. but I'm only asking $350 for the right pair of feet.
Price improvement - $300
Tell me what you'd pay and we'll go from there.
PM me for details.
