I bought these shoes in #43 from a LFGSS member from Berlin.
Paid less than EUR 30.-
Almost new. The red heel protectors / anti-slip ware gone, but our local "Mr. Minit" repaired it for EUR 10.-
Not the best quality shoes, but nice style that will go fine with my bike.
I will ride it with nail-on cleats and cage-type pedals with clips and straps.
Not look cleat or shimano cleat compatible is nonsense.
When these pedal systems were introduced, there were no suitable shoes.
Together with the pedals, you got a drilling template and 3 nail-in nuts (how do you call these).
These nuts are available in M5 size at every DIY shop and most people have some drills at home.
So, if you want you can use any shoe type with lipless pedal systems.
I just hope that I can get the nails into the plastic sole of my Vittoria shoes. Leather of wood would have been better. Maybe Ihave to use rapid glue.
