FS: William Lennon & Co traditional leather cycling shoe size UK 8
Andrew Turner
Greetings!
Back in February, I ordered these shoes from William Lennon & Co. I was searching for a flat-sole, leather, stiff, fully repairable, cycling-specific shoe—something built to last a lifetime. When they arrived in October, I was genuinely blown away by the quality and craftsmanship.
Unfortunately, they’re just a touch roomier than I’d hoped—likely about a half size too large for me. These shoes are also very much designed around traditional toe clips and straps (which I own and love), but I’ve come to realize that any form of foot retention tends to aggravate my knee after about 30 miles.
Shoe details:Size: UK 8
Leather: Virginia brown smooth leather
Collar: Light tan
Stitching: Brown
Uppers: Perforated
Sole: Smooth resin sole with Indiana rubber forepart & heel finish

I replaced the stock laces with waxed brown Dromarti laces and will include an extra unused pair as well.
These shoes have only been worn two or three times, have never seen water, and remain in excellent condition. The small gouges on the sole are from using MTB platform pedals. They’re a bit slick on flat pedals without pins, and pins do mark the sole—but paired with traditional toe clips and straps, they are fantastic. They would absolutely complete your L’Eroica drip.
If you’d like to skip the ~8-month waitlist for custom, English-made shoes, this is your chance.
Asking: $160 + shipping
Optional pedal setup:
I also have silver MKS Urban platform pedals with large silver MKS cages and MKS Fit Alpha Sports toe straps. I’ll include the full pedal setup with the shoes for an additional $50.
Take care,
