Hullo, I have a pair of the Dromarti shoes. They are indeed made by Marresi, even the box they come in is a Marresi box. The shoes are the cycling equivalent of dress shoes. They do not look like sport shoes by any means. You must wear Rapha or Tweed to look OK with these shoes. Beware, they run narrow. I wear SIdi's or Carnac's in 43, but to fit these shoes I needed 44's, just to get the width. Cheers! On Dec 5, 2009, at 11:13 AM, Aaron Thomas wrote:
