Vintage/Retro Looking Road Shoes
Saw some vintage looking cycling shoes in the "recent purchase" thread(link below) was wondering if any other companies make some vintage looking shoes, but with a smaller price tag than the ones attached.

Of the 4 or 5 that I've seen, they've all carried a fairly high price tag.

Vittoria (not the tires) makes a vintage throwback shoe that's pretty cool. Check out the line here: https://www.vittoria-shoes.com/eng/pr...hp?cat=VINTAGE.
What I really want to see is a re issue of some of Sidi's more radical late 80s shoes!

Bike Hugger showed a retro SPD Giro shoe in his blog.
And he linked to the Empire road shoe: (like WhyFi mentioned above)
It's interesting that there's all these new lace up shoes.
