Always on the lookout for big shoes, I found some Dettos today. Unfortunately, Detto Pietro size 47 is even smaller than Sidi size 46 and I can barely squeeze my foot in - too small, darn it! My feet would be numb in five miles.
These are nice shoes, probably 80s, with black perforated leather uppers including a trademark patch sewn on each side. Plastic soles with Pavarin single bolt slotted cleats. Even a Detto cardboard box! I don't think they had even been tried on before; the laces were still arranged in the weird way that shoemakers love.
I'd like to trade these for a similar pair of shoes (perforated leather in good condition) that fit, but I'll probably have to sell them and keep looking. If you have a trade to offer, please contact me off list. If you want to buy them for $75 plus actual postage, also contact me. I'll consider trade offers before a sale.
Thanks
