I have mostly normal sized feet (as in being size 8 but rather wide) and after a long wait I picked these up on eBay a few years ago. Badly described so I got them for £15. Also, not looking this good at first. I think they are what Vittoria 1976 are a replica of.
They have thick leather soles. Having ridden with modern pedals for many years I don't get on with nail-on cleats and ride them without on toestrap quill pedals. I have had a very thin rubber sole applied.
