Product Description:
This offering is for one set (a pair) of new-old-stock Lapize genuine leather toe straps in a yellow color. Each toe strap measures 41 cm in length (inclusive of the buckle) and 37 cm in length (not inclusive of the buckle). The Lapize brand was one of the vintage makers of toe straps coming out of France several years ago. I do not know their exact vintage, but I believe clipless pedals began gaining popularity in the late 80's...so our best guess is these toe straps pre-date this period. As a result, I would guess these toe straps are around 30 years removed from their production date.
I don't know that there were significant differences in quality when comparing vintage genuine leather toe straps from the 80's era and before. I suspect there were some quality differences, and while I do not believe these Lapize branded toe straps represent the top-end, I can confirm they were made from good materials (genuine leather straps and steel clamps/binders)...so I believe they are good quality.
As for condition, these toe straps came to us bulk packed in large (sealed) plastic bags that hold several toe straps. As a result, the toe straps are not retail packaged, but they still show fairly well and are clearly new and unused.

Note to international customers regarding shipping...
We apologize to those that feel some of our international shipping charges are too high. We only charge actual shipping rates, but once an order exceeds a certain amount, we hesitate to use the least expensive US Postal Services First Class International service. We feel this way, because this service is not trackable or insurable...so more risk of loss. We prefer the US Postal Services Priority Mail International service for more expensive orders, because this service is trackable at USPS.com and insurable...so less risk of loss. Unfortunately, this service is more expensive, especially for smaller/lighter packages, relative to the First Class International service. We are sorry about these higher shipping costs, but hopefully our notes help to explain why this is the case.
Note to international customers regarding customs...
We also apologize to those that feel their country import taxes, duties and brokerage fees are excessive. As a small US business, we are required by customs' laws to declare each order as a retail sale. Additionally, the declared order value must be equal to total store purchases and/or winning auction bids (less any shipping costs, as these are not considered in the declared value). As a result, each customer will be responsible for paying his/her own country taxes, duties and brokerage fees, which will be collected upon delivery. Again, we apologize for these additional costs, but we cannot afford the penalties and fines that come with breaking customs' laws...so we have to strictly abide by them.
