I believe the Bata Bikers were what I wore on my trans continental ride in 1977. I also had leather cycling shoes with the nail on cleats at the time, IIRC I took both pairs with me on that trip. I still have a pair of Avenir cycling shoes from the 1980's? They are better made than the Bata were. Currently the best thing out there that is similar seems to be indoor soccer shoes. I have my eye on a pair of the Dromarti shoes....
