Advice on soft grey shoes?
I seem to have most everything that I need for acceptance into this fourm except for that last important item. Yes, the soft grey shoes to wear on Sunday after my ride.
Now I don't mean to be fussy, but I want soft grey shoes that would work for everything, not just for a high performance Sunday, but a lazy Sunday, a rainy Sunday, just about any Sunday. I should be able to recover from a ride on my MTB or my road bike in these shoes. I would like for these shoes to make me feel..........well..........chirpy.

Maddmaxx looking for comfy shoes? That's just not right. If you want comfy shoes you're going to have to change your screen name.
A REAL Maddmax would just supreglue the cleats to his bare feet.

Bowling shoes and classic cycling knickers will keep you comfy and make you the talk of the town.

All I want to know is how do I get rid of the soft grey feet after a wet and cold ride.
About Those Crocs as posted by Bluesdawg. I just about live in mine. Just wish they did a steel toecapped version for work.

Is that your new helmet Tom. I'll bet its great going downwind.
Its supposed to be cooling holes in the helmet, wings on the shoes.
Of course if your trying to destroy the Earth then its appropriate.

The helmet is all powerful.
Speak ill of the winged helmet at your own peril.
