Thanks Patrick, That was probably my post about the shoes - I put the report on CR added them to a shoe topic on iBoB. I really like them - they do the job I bought them for, they're lightweight, cool, plenty stiff, easy in and out of the toe straps - and look better than I need. Honestly, I'd take a new pair of my old Avocet touring shoes from 1978 if somebody made them...
I think the benchmark touring shoe today is the Quoc Pham Fixed - perfect touring sole, but to me, the style looks too dressy (good for work), but also the design - my foot needs the longer laces/tongue of the Mamnick style. The Mamnicks were also a little cheaper than the Quoc Pham. Oh, and I wasn't counting any of the SPD shoes. Just touring soles.
