If these came with a leather shoe attached with a 4½ to 5 inch heel, I doubt I would ever take them off. The "tight" suggesting they are not so much small, more super stretchy, that happens to be a very alluring attribute. (Which may be why they might actually be suitable for cycling. ) Not that I would wear such an expensive/attractive garment for cycling. As with my H+M versions, either the outline of the mannequins underwear or the shape built into the model, made the details of the undergarments visible. I'm thinking (for a girl) a very fine string type thong - or 'commando' for that clean look. Another reason they might be more popular with the younger rather than older woman; modesty. Mrs Freddy won't wear anything like it, despite her 'respectable' shape. Probably just as well, given my age.

Italian sizing frequently crops up in cycling clothes which means you need to go straight to the XXL to have even a ghost of a chance of getting into it.

Interesting that such a (relatively) large size sells out so quickly. Either they make very damn few of them in size 8 or there are more people with (relatively) larger feet that Mr Zara thinks there are.

I saw an article mentioning Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld and George 'Dubya' Bush. They are all heels. Does that count? :-)
