That would be red, but if you're ever planning to go to the track and hustle the Freds, you want to look as slow as possible (black).

Aside from looking "fast" as you put it, bright colors, especially in motion are great for catching a drivers eye. I say any color that is bright, such as orange, red, yellow, green, etc... You can see I wear orange shoes in my avatar.

I'm generally a fan of basic black, but jadocs has a good point. I have been wearing some fluorescent oversocks this winter. Very eyecatching in low light.

Personally for me, I'd consider any colour but black or white. I gotta have something flashy!

Blue would be the obvious answer, except that you said you want to look fast, so red.

Having just spent some time thinking about this - my advice go with a color that works best with most of your kit, ie: do you have a lot of all black kit? Do you want to look like Darth Vader? No? Maybe white or other color shoe would look better. That sort of thing.

White. Always.

White is the fastest. All of my shoes are white.

generalkdi 02-06-19 06:52 AM

Red is fast, like a ferrari.

I'm a white shoe/white helmet kind of guy.

With white belt for full effect.

SERIOUS cyclists (who are also fast) choose Rapha. Make sure you match your shoes to your bidon and helmet.

I'm not the type to wear any florescent colored jersey.
I stick to basic black or white.

I have a teammate who has these pink Raphas. I can always pick him out on the road.

Don’t wear white shoes after Labor Day!


MagicHour 02-06-19 03:52 PM

I just got these - really love how Empires fit me; "feel like slippers" as the saying goes and I dig the grey with neon pop.

WHITE...white is where its at. I have two pairs of shoes, one in black and one in white. I use the black ones for 90% of the riding and the white for events and such. White is awesome!
