New shoes are included so you guys are at least partially right. And yes, the shoes are black, red, and white. Hopefully have the first pictures tomorrow.

Match those with a red plaid jacket and hat with attached earflaps, and you're ready for some Wisconsin bow hunting

I've got one of those, but you CF riders wouldn't care for it.



On second thought, I guess it isn't "new". Does new to me count?

That's what happens when you ride a Giant. Specializeds don't do that.
