+1 on Sambas. Apparently Adidas just released a cycling-specific model today called the Velosamba. Basically the same thing as a Samba but with stiffer sole and SPD compatibility. Pricey though! On Wednesday, March 3, 2021 at 6:24:38 AM UTC-8 eric...@gmail.com wrote: > I like the Blundstone 550s

Yeah the leather in Brooks is definitely different, I still love the saddles but they have changed their formula they seem flimsier which for my aging bottom turned out to be a good thing. On Feb 28, 9:34 am, "Bill M." wrote: > Richard, > > I received a brown Velo Orange Model 6 saddle this week
