Someone had asked a few days ago about the Diadora Voyageur shoes. I rode a
pair of these home and back yesterday with toe-clip pedals. They are a
fairly comfortable shoe, and rigid enough to prevent pedal soreness, but not
so rigid that you can't walk in them. They also have a rocker sole to make
walking easy. They are as traditional a shoe as you can get these days,
being all black with perforations, but they are a two-velcro-strap shoe and
not lace up. They have slots for pedal cages, and also have a place for SPD
cleats. A a bit of a roudy toe compared to older Italian shoes, so fit
American feet well. A little reflective patch on the heel. Sizing is
typical of Italian shoes. They fit just like Sidis to me. These may become
my main commuting/touring shoes. I give them two toes up. You can view them
