Fluro Shoes Still Cool?
Basically the title, I am 21 years old and starting to get into back into cycling after about a 7 year break. I know about 2 years ago companies started making fluro/high vis shoes. Are these still popular? I like the idea of the added visibility, but I don't want to look like a jack*** teen with bright colored shoes!

IME, fashion statements that are as extreme as fluorescent shoes are mercifully brief.

But I thank you guys for your responses. I think I'll just end up getting something classic-white with reflective pans.

I agree, ride what you like.
As to your question, I think they are more "in fashion" now than ever.
Would I buy them? Nope. I'm way too "get off my lawn" for those colors!

Be careful of looking too much like a runner, the rules exist for a reason!

I have a pair of yellow Bont Vaypors that I like a lot. I think they're practical. Cool? I dunno. Prolly not.
