Erotica shoes

I typed eroica, but I prefer the iPad version!
Thought we needed a thread about shoes
I didn't know that old school cycling shoes are sized correctly!
I bought these really nice shoes, online from a private seller, they are brand new, 80's style, I always buy cycling shoes one size larger, I am a 41 so I bought these 42's, they are one size too big!
Where do you think is the best place to try and sell them, on eBay or retro bike or BR?

Recognition at last Matthew, well done!, a justified honour
Can't see on the soles either - all ok for cleats?

By eroica shoes I meant pre 1987, unless you are in possession of some 1985 original look pedals, rat trap toe clips didn't need cleats only flat, slightly grippy soles, like shown in the photo
May head off to speak with the purists over on retrobike :roll:
Edit: eat toast and cheese, raise blood glucose, reduces sarcasm...
what I meant was, Matt, they are slim and don't have any holes in the soles.
Thought they may have had the old "removable section in the sole for cleats or leave in for real retro look" jobby.
Thank you very much anyway.

I was expecting shoes more like this:
Not sure if they take road or MTB cleats.

No offense at all taken by me - it's the fact they aren't cleat compatible that I'm annoyed by.
Re the second shoes - I've seen a video with Dita Von Steele and a pair of those. Worth Googling at work if you get the chance.

Used, but a bargain (with cleats!)
They rock. Buy them for me as I'm nice.
