This is kind of a grey area.

White shoes make your legs look long and powerful.

Black shoes make your legs look short and dumpy.

Your choice.

High Viz yellow if you are Nasty!

Stratocaster

Actually, that's exactly what I bought when I started about 3 years ago.
But my recommendation is - WHITE.

Are you Cinderella?

Black, always.

White reminds me of Nurse Ratched in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. They're just scary/goofy.

I have two all white Sidi road shoes and slightly regret the all white. The toe area seems to get scrapes and scratched on them. Now, I have two other Sidi road shoes, B&W with black on the toe area. They look much cleaner theses days. And yes, I am careful with my shoes as to not get them bunged up.

Silver

Like gray, but a bit more trendy.

Silver - way more 'superhero'

White is pro.
I'm not pro, therefore, black.

Red, it's faster.

Black shoes look like you're going to church. Not that I'm a pro, but check out a professional race. You won't see too many black shoes. You will see all kinds of colors, but not much black. So, my answer is any color but black.

true dat

Black and White combination...

Glass shoes, they're very stiff for maximum power transfer.

goes with everything

still remember dabbing white polish on my confirmation shoes, or was it 1st communion? don't remember. also don't remember why I would care cuz those two things only occur once & surely my shoe size would have changed

anyway, can't imagine trying to keep while cycle shoes white

Stratocaster

Yes, which is part of why I prefer white...because I'm such a poseur.

Also agree with silver - I have 2 pairs of silver shoes. They look sweet.

Oh, and as far as keeping white clean goes:
Yes, they do tend to get scuffed up...but just keep pedaling so that nobody notices.

I likie those Mavic shoes. Never tried them but they seem solid. OP Get whatever color floats your boat and can get a good deal on. A recent shoe that I miss are the Bont a-three. They were blue and white. But the best part was putting them in the toaster oven twice on low heat to take advantage of the foot moulding process.

This is how I roll!



I've never worn them to church, however...

Goes with everything, never goes out of style.

ptempel

Fantabulous! I think they are the top end of the Bont range, no? So might be a bit too pricey for me. I might have to break down and get another pair. Maybe one or two from the bottom. The old a-three I used to have weren't even carbon sole. But they definately got the job done.

pesty

White,
always white... shinny, highly polished white.

Unless there is the option for something really loud like Neon yellow, orange or purple.

I need more details, what color is the bike? Your helmet? The vast majority of your socks?

HOWEVER, with none of these details, I highly recommend white.
