Review on Vittoria 1976 Classic Nylon U Black 45 by Joshua Johnson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Go back to the days when steel wheels were real and t-shirts and shorts were made of wool and cotton, but don't forget!

They're constructed like their 70's and earlier ancestors, they're skin-tight, they conform to the shape of your foot, out of the box you'll wear them for an hour or two like us racers, when - then . If I remember correctly, the originals had a wooden sole to allow the cleats to be nailed on. I was very happy that they came with three hole trap pedal cleats (that saved me $30 on buying a kit). I bought these for my vintage bike rides with L'Eroica and Tweed. What I like about the laces is that they adjust for the length of the foot. Just didn't like it, wish the top lace holes were reinforced with nylon, I think my old shoes will wear the top holes. but I will only wear them a few times a month while driving my vintage car.

Pros
  • EVA insole
Cons
