I would be interested in finding out how your glueing project turns out for the republics. I have a leather pair where I've removed the side pieces and I am considering finding a cobbler to do the same.
I'm also about to test another set up by using the Vittoria cleats by bolting one side of the SPD slot and one bolt from the side cleats.

By proper, if you mean what came with the bike, I can’t help, but it you want somewhat period correct this is what I put on my Champione del Mondo. MKS toe clips with Zefal Black leather Christophe straps, both easily found on eBay.
You probably want the medium clips, mine are the deep XLs so I can wear just about any shoe.
I need to start looking at the dates on these threads before I reply, I’m sure you’ve found something by now

I wear size 9 Giro Rumble shoes and prefer fairly large toecilps. I have big plastic toecilps on my mountain bike, which is my errand runabout, on which I need quick entry/exit for frequent stops and fast starts in traffic.
