    Da gibt es leider kein Rino-Modell. Und auf Anfrage, ob sie Nachschub bekommen, habe ich keine vernünftige Antwort bekommen.
    Damn! They even have special editions I have never seen before! And the Storica with different soleplates... I once asked them to make them with different soleplate and they said "No"...

    I ordered them today only 60€ from 11 teamsports. Cool price. I like the akunas with the logo, but without is okay too. I have never see a player with a akuna.

    De Rossi wore them once with everybody claiming that they were Pantofolas

    I would say thicker than the piumas. They are so comfortable like all the akunas. They are all better than the pantofolas. The soleplate is very flexible, but i think tge colibris are a little bit better

    Here are the piumas and classica blackout. I prefer the classica because they have a leather insole IMG_20180310_094559267_HDR.jpg IMG_20180310_094539286_HDR.jpg IMG_20180310_094528047_HDR.jpg

    I think the colibris are better, because the soleplate is more flexible. The k-leather on the piumas is thin and high quality like all cinquestelles. But i think they are very tight, but they strech a lot.

    I will. Paid 40 € extra just to have these green features, but I wanted to have this special edition :) I think it is similar to the yellow Toro special edition it once had been available for a short period of time (with yellow studs).

    I just ordered a pair of Ryal Europa for the new season. I'm still wearing my La Storia but since they're a bit tight so I decided to go from a 41 to a 42 this time (half a size up).

    Apologies for this, but I can't resist it... surely going from 41 to 42 is a full size up? :)

    I know some size comparison charts might jump from EU41 to EU42, but thats because the various international sizing systems don't line up properly, and because the EU sizing system is more granular than the US, UK and JP sizing systems its just the best approximation they can manage to make the chart work.

    I'm guessing you've looked at a Nike size chart which jumps from 41 -> 42 for the reasons I've mentioned above?

    EU 41.5 does exist in a real EU sizing system (which is what I believe Ryal use), so you've gone a full size up in terms of EU sizing.

    Guys, I gave in. I bought the Lazzarini SLs. The leather is fantastic on them, far better than the last pair I bought. They fit slightly tighter but still definitely have a lot of stretch to them. They are pretty light. I am really excited to get these broken in!

    About $150US. They were on sale for a pretty short time on PDS.
    It's fairly stiff. Stiffer than the regular ones. I imagine they will soften up but at the moment I'm unsure how much. They do feel like they will stay fairly stiff in the middle though.

    Going by the Ryal size chart, their 42 is 5 mm longer than their 41. Their 41½ is actually only 2 mm longer than their 41, which makes it a quarter size. This is reflected in their UK and US sizes which compare a 41½ to a 7¾ and 8¼ (up from 7½ and 8 respectively). So whilst 41 → 42 sounds like a full size up, it's actually only half a size.
