Those were Avocet MC 30's. Has a pair for touring now worn out. Have been looking for a pair ever since. The best shoes for clips and straps ever made. Walkable and somewhat stiff soled as well.
Ah, thanks for that! I wracked my brain to come up with that name and struck out. At the time I was a racerboy and thought Pete, his shoes, and RAAM were the height of fredliness, so wasn't paying a whole lot of attention. The shoes, though, make a whole lot of sense for the kind of riding I do now. Are you aware of anything similar?
