the good thing about working in a bike shop is that when new stuff comes in, you get first dibs. staff discount is another great perk. but anyway looking at the new shoes that came in, they look pretty good but they are very expensive as the maker wants us to sell close to the australian price. australia however has a tax on cycling products.

these are made in france by carnac.



however, i have flat as well as wide feet. this makes shoe fitting and choosing a pain. at the price the above shoes are being sold, i can actually get more than one pair of a brand that is distributed locally, albeit a cheaper model but one for wide feet.

this is made in italy by sidi. for this range for wide feet, they seem to adopt henry ford's philosophy on his model T car. "they can have any colour so long as it is black."
