word. im mainly concerned about soreness from a hard saddle, or also chafing. are there any real leather chamois/wool shorts in a basic/classic style that have padding in them? is a real leather saddle more comfortable than a taiwanese concor ripoff? its padded, but still feels pretty hard. i might just run non-padded real chamois+wool shorts w/ bag balm until i find padded ones. i definitely need to figure out a cheap, comfortable, black, classic style saddle. and i really gotta find some vintage leather size 44 cycling shoes. the 43s wont fit me because i have a size 8.5eee foot. just going to get the 44s and use size large clips to get my foot where i want it over the pedal. call me a hipster but yes im kind of anal about the vintage/retro thing. but not too anal. if it works and its all theyve got ill use it but if i can, i try to go with some 60's/70's looking stuff. i have some kind of romance with that look. i love it.

These are good shoes...as far as the saddle...10 miles is nothing...most saddles will work without any extras. JMO..
