Will black booties stain my sexy white Sidis if I get wet?

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

can you really keep cycling stuff from getting stained and dirtied?

an uphill struggle, i say.

just jump into a mud puddle and make it a moot issue, and start enjoying your fine sidi shoes

So, I got down to Le Knicks yesterday, and guess what? No Max.....again

Picked up two cheap shirts ($55 and $45).

You reckon lycra-only booties would stop the cold at all?
They've got some Adidas ones with a zip on the top, and I like the idea of being able to adjust my shoes without taking the booties off.

Those TT booties do fark all for keeping out cold. But they do look pro....

I agree, but....I dunno....those shoes cost me about $320 US(!!), so I'm reluctant to jump straight in the mud

Those shoes are way too bright. I had to ride in front of you because my sunglasses weren't dark enough.

UMM I understand the question, but a real easy solution would have been to choose a different color or shoe. I mean why get them and then worry about the color getting altered? After all they are just shoes.
