Harvey,

Your hypothesis regarding Christophe "Special" toe clips being sized as Large is, indeed, absolute fact:

----------NAME----------- -----SIZE----- -LENGTH- -US SHOE- -MODEL- Christophe "D" Short 50 mm 5,6,7 50 D Christophe Medium 57 mm 8,9,10 50 C Christophe "Special" Large 65 mm 11,12 50 S Christophe "Special X" Extra Large 70 mm 13 & up 50 X

For those who are interested in further information, please refer to page 6 of the 02/1974 Poutrait-Morin catalog I have posted to WoolJersey:

You will note that the "Special X" version of the Christophe toe clip did not exist at that particular point in time, and in fact, was never produced having the older stylized Christophe logo.
