My understanding is that these just have basic vans soles which makes them useless for any serious cycling or people with foot issues.

I currently use: Pony mexico '77
though mine are a different colour. The upper is very nice full leather. I have to say the soles were effed up on mine but I had the local cobbler slice and correct that and put shanks in them. nearly inflexible now. I broke one shank because my right leg is a beast and the left is really weak (long story leg shortening surgery)... anyway they are perfect with shanks put in, which I consider essential for any street shoe to be useful for cycling.


I am very excited to buy a pair of these when I can find them available:
