White, or colorful shoe covers are another way to get your feet noticed. Much cheaper too.

Those yellow Specialized have to be some the most b*tt-ugly things I've ever seen. The only thing missing is the other twelve clowns getting out of the little circus car behind you ....

DMT Flash in Silver.
I would have gotten a pair if I had a dealer close by to try them on. Instead I bought the Specialized S-works in white.

It's to bad that Liberace is dead, otherwise we could ask him which shoes he would wear. Maybe Sigfried or Roy could comment.
