The Stradale's are my 4th pair of Piloti's and my 2nd pair of Stradale's. My first pair is green/black/gum. I think that the dakar (beige)/black/gum are my favorite color. This last pair fits as good as my original pair, which has worn very well for the first year. If you have no experience with these shoes they are very comfortable. They feel like that comfortable pair of slippers you have at home. Will buy again and may get another pair to put away for when they are not available anymore.
