"Oh really? Some shoes are faster than others even when covered by shoe covers?" inquires I.

"Yes," he says, "sometimes."

Hmmm I have over 20,000 miles on my current shoes, will need new ones at some point anyway. I suppose I could just get some fast ones now. What's faster?

Laces are generally faster.

Goggle goggle google and voila!

Lime green and black. Just like the TT bike. Of course they're covered anyway when I'm in full race regalia, so does it really matter? No. It does however appeal to my sense of aesthetics. :)

Makes sense... buckles are bulky enough to create bumps even under the shoe covers; laces are flat and successfully smoothed over. As long, I assume, as you adequately tuck and flatten the tails after tying.

What sort of time gain are we talking? I assume it can't be enough for tri geeks to consider tying and then putting on shoe covers, even for an Ironman, considering they then have to come off at the other end.

You should also check the Specialized ones. They come with a small sleeve to cover the laces and everything. They claim they are the fastest shoes, but then of course they do.

I'd rather a movie suck if it were an occasion for a date. I guess that means I'm not a fan of movie dates (I mean, you can't talk...).

Yikes. I want to stay around 2-3 bikes, maybe swap out and or update slightly more frequently.. but you're into that whole trike thing so that's a whole different animal.

Correct, they're not really the smartest move in terms of a date, but a few other ideas were shot down.
