Oh help us all... :rolleyes:

He is gay isn't he? Not that there's anything wrong with that! :D

Atleast that match his watch... ;)

Those... are... women's shoes...
:confused:
:)

Nah those are just fancy shmancy non gender-specific "Italian" shoes. It's probably the big thing over in Italy.:)

huh. had dinner with my ex this Monday and I noticed her sandals had that same toe thingy. he's a good looking guy and all, I guess, but they look better on her.

so gay! But he can kick my ass on the bike so I think it's ok for him to wear those.

What a bunch of rubes. I think they're cool.

BTW, cool web-site (http://www.velobella.org/).

I'll bet they're comfortable, but. . .

See what happens when you spend too much time in Europe.

Maybe racing in North American ain't so bad after all.

UGH !

Someone PLEASE! kill the designer before it makes more of those hideous shoes!

Forget the shoes! George is dreamy! :love: He could park those sandals under my bed anytime.

How about it, George? Wanna be my boyfriend?

I think my wife has a pair of sandals just like those. :eek: :rolleyes:

Just what I was thinking!

Doesn't look like much Carbon Fiber was used in their manufature,

Personally, I think he needs to try some different Oakleys.

I am sorry to say, I think some of you folks are a bit to sheltered from the latest fashions. Ya gota quit sleeping in your riding mtb or riding togs... :D

I live in So CA. Although, I wouldn't wear the shoes in question, similiar types of shoes are seen as GQ and are very cosmo.

Well, that's enough reason for me not to strap on a pair!

:D

Okay, wait....is he REALLY gay? or is this rumor?

if he's gay, does he have a boyfriend?

yum!

bit to sheltered from the latest fashions

Yeah... I bet your hot togas and hand picked wigs really go over well. Getting many offers from Joe Mufferaw :) wantabee's to view the inside of their Woodchuck alligator, they probably consider you a fashionable babe in the woods... :D

Say it ain't true, Joe! :eek:

Wait a minute. This could work out. I've never had a gay boyfriend before.

How about it, Joe? Wanna be my boyfriend? ;)

I like the shoes/or sandals, I"ll wear one if its available out here in T.O.

Please tell me you're a for real woman... otherwise, this forum is starting to scare me a touch... :confused:

:roflmao:

I can't stop laughing!!!!!!! Yes, I am a REAL woman as you put it. At least I was the last time I checked..... just a minute......
Yep, I am!

Glad I could offer up a good laugh for you... now, I can breath a cy of relief... :p People just don't realize when they say next to nothing on their profile, new posters are left wondering in cases such as this... ;)

In an article in Cycle Sport, Hincapie said he loves to go shoe-shopping in spain. Is that the best he could find? ewww.

Sorry, no heterosexual man would wear those shoes. Okay, maybe in Europe.

He is almost certainly gay and he's almost certainly not the only gay cyclist. Not that there's anything wrong with it! But he's still a major hunk. He just needs to find better shoe stores!

I can't see the shoe picture ... I'll have to get off this MAC and go upstairs to my PC. :(

Just a quick correction - I think the above is spelled "Je ne sais quoi" or pretty close to this. Not being critical, just thought you'd like to know.
:beer:

Hot sandals, George!

Those feet are worth a million bucks!

Okay, I'm pretty open minded about men's footwear but those look like woman's sandals. I have some sandals/shoes that are very comfortable and I guess around here would be considered European and most N.E. men would not wear them but I would definitely not wear those large woman's sandals. Hey, to each his own. If he likes them, that's all that counts.
:beer:

Those Oakley's (Racing Jackets) are coolio! I was very very close to getting some, but 165 bucks is a little steep. Plus there are only two colors to select from, how boring. I'm going to get some Rudy's or Spy's.

Don't judge a man by his feet.....:crash:

Thanks Stor Mand. I quit taking french after grade 8 when it was no longer mandatory, so I was winging it! I knew it just didn't look right, but what the hay.....you still figured it out! :D

I remember my sister telling me (about 35 years ago) that "Je ne sais quoi" (or however you spell it) meant something like, "I don't know what."

So, George's sandals might have that certain, "I don't know what."

:D

(You Canadians ought to be able to correct me on this...)

Yup, though I'm just learning French, it means "I don't know what". Though wouldn't it be more corrent if written "Je ne sais pas quoi"?

Je ne sais pas: I don't know.

Je ne sais quoi: I don't know what [As in... there's something about Mary... a je ne sais quoi].

Im just impressed that In Alberta htey teach French...

Hey, I dont think what they teach us here could be considerd French either... I learned more on a construction site in Ottawa...

something about Tabernack? lol
