Today was going to be the virgin run of my Bottecchia after restoring her, only one problem, I couldn't get my feet into the toe straps!?! I have size 13 feet that are wide, the straps at full open were too snug and I made a fool of my self trying to launch several times before realizing this isn't going to happen.

I want to keep her as vintage as possible, hoping to find longer leather straps, if not nylon.
