I doubt they will have a sale, but remember that the web prices
included VAT at about 18% which is deducted for foreign buyers.
Shipping is quite cheap from the UK.  You can email them for a current

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!

I got the SPD style and the road style and absolutely love them. The
fit is the same as my Sidis, but these look a lot cooler. They
remind me quite a bit of my Sidis in the early 80s, but the quality of
these is even higher. I think the natural leather is probably more
comfortable and perhaps even form-fitting, as compared to the
synthetic materials of my Sidis. And I say that as a vegetarian! Plus,
they look just awesome. I wear the SPD version at my Spinning classes,
too. Oh, so stylish! I'm guessing they will last forever, too. (The
soles are plenty tough; they might even be sourced from Sidi, by the
looks of them.)

At the bottom-left, the Sportivo version has the spd-style sole, the
Race version has a look-style sole. Beautiful shoes.

 The website shows what looks to be a tourist shoe type bottom. Do they make
 a model compatible with Look cleats?

 And how was ordering: through the website? Smooth and hassle free?

 Not that I really need to spend $250 on shoes ...

 I got the SPD style and the road style and absolutely love them. The
 fit is the same as my Sidis, but these look a lot cooler. They
 remind me quite a bit of my Sidis in the early 80s, but the quality of
 these is even higher. I think the natural leather is probably more
 comfortable and perhaps even form-fitting, as compared to the
 synthetic materials of my Sidis. And I say that as a vegetarian! Plus,
 they look just awesome. I wear the SPD version at my Spinning classes,
 too. Oh, so stylish! I'm guessing they will last forever, too. (The
 soles are plenty tough; they might even be sourced from Sidi, by the
 looks of them.)

 Gee, thanks a lot! Now I am *really* tempted, even though I spent my own
Christmas, 2009 present money back in October. Of course, these are onlly
$198 ...

D'ya think they'll have a post-Xmas sale?
