SWAP - Adidas Merckx shoes, my 42 for your 44

Hi folks,
I have a pair of Adidas Merckx shoes that are too small. In the first place I'd like to try to exchange them for a pair that do fit. I'm looking for a pair that takes slotted cleats for clips rather than 3-bolt cleats for Look pedals.

So if you happen to have a pair of size 44(*) Adidas Merckx shoes and would like to swap them for a pair of size 42(*) then please get in touch.

Photos of mine will follow shortly, after work.

(*) sizing of these shoes is a bit weird as they normally used interim sizes like 40 2/3. So I'm looking for the shoes closest in size to a 44, while mine are pretty much a 42.

Cheers,
Gareth.
 
All Adidas shoes are made in genuine english sizes NOT Metric

so you will not find a pair of 44 - 9 1/2 UK

and they are a broader fit than Italian ones..

I know one top pro who had to ride Sidi's but were to tight so he used Adidas Merckx and removed all the trim and stuck the sidi trim onto the Adidas ones !!!
