Dromarti race shoesJust in: Dromarti Race shoes
If you're looking for something a bit different in your road footwear, then it's worth checking out Dromarti's range of handmade Italian leather shoes. There's three models: the Storica, a classic clip-and-strap shoe; the Sportivo with SPD drillings and a bit of tread; and the one we've got our hands on, the Race, which is a rigid Carbon sole with a 3-point fixing married to a ventilated leather upper. It's a very, very lovely looking thing and well made to boot. £139 (plus £5.75 P&P) isn't cheap, of course, but you can spend a lot more on road shoes. All shoes are available in sizes 37 to 47. Watch this space for a review in the coming weeks. First impressions from our tester are... gushing.

Well you are a bit odd because most people do gravel rides on gravel. How many times do you ride over those items in a four hour session?

Not so sure m'self. Don't think i'd spend 140 notes on 'em. Rather have some other Italian footwear Sidi - OOOHHH YEEESSSS
A really, really good look. Some combination of beautiful leather shoes, fitted but not clinging 3/4 length trousers, a plain coloured shirt with no writing on it and no nipple-chafing, sunnies and a nice hat and your average recreational club rider would be a happier person on the bike. The mpore of "this sort of thing" the better.
:o)
I agree. They look very nice indeed. Wonder whether they'll take standard Look cleats.
I reckon they'll look fantastic with my khaki Rapha merino jersey.
