I’m finally narrowing down my choice for large shoes and the final match is going on between Lake cx 332 and Fizik vento infinito carbon 2. I’m leaning towards Lakes a bit more but the cangaroo leather is still holding me back a bit.
The way I see it a leather cycling shoes may have that “vintage” flavor compared to the usual synthetic shoes we are all accustomed to,but that’s pretty much it. What all other advantages to it ? I ride during winter only and although being a mild winter,leather is renowed for passing cold temperature once its surface gets cold too. But also what about long term durability and mainteinance needs ? I’be beated the heck out of my SIDI’s both road and mtb and after 11 years they can still take it ( synthetic)
And yes, wife not happy about buying me a cangaroo made shoe but it’s my 50th birthday so she can’t say no…
I know you said you had large feet, but that seems excessive.
