Remember Jeff Mandel of ExIT Shoes?
Back in January I shared photos and a story of his handmade leather bicycle saddles.
The other day, I came across his latest creation — a bicycle touring shoe.
According to his blog (Mandel posts an entry for each pair of shoes he makes — these are #25), this is Mandel’s first bicycle touring shoe. Mandel was inspired by a pair of shoes made in 1960 that he reproduced from photos brought to him by his friend Joel Metz (a veteran Portland bike messenger).
