    Ive started to be a fan of the overly coloured shoe over the past few years. A Rapha white classic lace up is a great go to for day to day but sometimes you want to just go all out and on those days the Red Shimano RP901s make an appearance. Super hard to match to anything but that's the price you pay for "fashion" :)

    I love this, I gave up on my fashion, temporarily, after gaining a bunch of post surgery weight and am currently rocking the super Fred look until I get my weight back down. However, once I'm lean again, I can't wait to spend stupid money on kit to match my bike and gear.

I haven't seen a Pro pull-off black shoe, and it looks great yet, but I will be on the lookout. My current go-to is white shoes or mostly white/black shoes. Rapha white '23 pro race lace

    Hi! Just the person to answer my delima. I have a black bike, I wear full leg sleeves black bike pants( I live in a very hot country), what colour shoes will suit more, black or white. Will black just blend in with the bike or would white be too much showing off? I also wear a black and grey helmet that coincidentally matches my bike as it is also black and grey design.

Will just go with the flow and keep those in mind and look cool as hell :) ;)

    Chris, at 05:21 I think you are missing a trick there. It’s those hideous black and white Sidi shoes which are spoiling the look, not the bright blue socks. The same socks but with a totally black stealth shoe like you describe would actually work well. These same two colours in fact formed the basis for Team Sky’s kit from a number of years ago you may recall, and it didn’t look half bad as a combination.

    When i started cycling black shoes were the absolute standard compared with standard white socks. As far as i know Angel Arroyo in 1984 tdf was (one of ) the first cyclist to have white cyclingshoes. Later on Andy Hampsten wearing white Lakes in 1987-1988.

    Black is the new black. I'm not a baseball fan, but I live in ATL (2k from the braves stadium) so gotta praise the shirt! I only wear black shoes, so this was great. I might have to do the opposite of your advice sometimes because I'm a tall guy, and sometimes breaking up the leg makes me look less like a chicken in bike kit :)

    The thing I like about my 3 pairs of black shoes is I havent had to clean them once over the four years I've owned them. I do more ks than most pros to, at least 3 rides a week minimum 15km long, so the colour has been tested and proven.
    I've also found dried snot or road grime just flakes off after a few weeks. It's basically a self cleaning colour.
