I bought and returned a pair of the wood soled leather Duegi shoes
from Bike Warehouse back in the mid 1980s. Too narrow. Bought a pair
of the new Duegi shoes from Bike Warehouse instead. Plastic soles
with bolt on cleats. The plastic sole shoes had the three hole Look
pattern in them. Don't recall if the wood soled shoes had bolt on or
nail on cleats. There were two or three versions of the new Duegi
shoes, each with a different tightening method. Laces, the ones I
got. Two velcro straps. And some reason I think another model too.
Nashbar had a couple models of these mid 1980s Duegi shoes on their
website sometime in the last year or two. NOS find from somewhere. I
still have my mid 1980s leather Duegi shoes. I know they have the
three hole Look pattern in the plastic soles because I put a Time
Equipe adaptor plate onto them to use the Time Equipe cleats in 1992.
I am now using the three hole SPD-SL cleats so I could use these shoes
today. But I bought them a bit too small and they never did stretch.
I learned its best to get properly fitting cycling shoes.
