Were these the worst cycling shoes ever made?

[wynne]

They were super flexy, thin-soled, gave no protection against toestraps, weren't in any way waterproof and yet I absolutely loved them. Just found them again in the loft. Duegi Tomacs if I remember correctly...

Ah, those were the days.

I had teh Caratti copies of those. Suprisingly lasted a couple of years before teh sole where teh cleat is broke. Had dominator 2's after that.

I thought the Shimano Sandle SPD's were pretty..... well :?
Try doing a downhill run in them

 

[Lysander]

I thinks they were more intended for a gnarly Chip Shop run.......
