There are rumours that Rapha are bringing out a range of shoes, but I think this lot have beaten them to it ... mmm, tempting 8)

Judging from the photo on the clothing section of their website, Dromarti clearly favour a very, very short short :shock:

Less than a pair Sidi Ergo 2s... at about £170 a pair I think.


Except Sidi Ergo 2's have the benefit of being worth the money...

I wonder what they'd be like when they got wet? Presumably you could weather-proof them a bit, but I imagine they'd still get as heavy as an old football. The retro ones I'm talking about, not the Sidis.

'twas the way in the 60's all the men rode around in shorts like Chloe's (except in black and made of wool).

What's going on with the three holes on the sole?
Surely those shoes have to be used with chrome toeclips and leather straps.

They do 'em for all types of pedal Jon, but yeas would be better with a clip and christophe strap.

I agree. They'd go with my Brooks bar tape and saddle. And if I was spending that sort of money on a pair of cycling shoes, I'd want some that I could polish lovingly on a Friday night 8)
