Yep, those look just like the Detto Pietro's I used to have. Same cleats as well, TA Jacques Anquetiel (sp?). I followed the only advice I had heard at the time and rode them without cleats a couple of times to leave an impression on the soles, then had a cobbler nail them on, using a last (steel anvil IIRC). Only time I ever fell over was from these, and tucking the end of the toe straps in the buckles... I quickly found out why you don't do that Luckily there was a utility or stoplight pole in reach so I didn't go all the way over.
