What color is your road shoe?
I have black Shimano 151s that are nice and classic looking, especially with white socks. Since I live in the desert, I wouldn't mind having a white shoe.
What's your shue hue?

The semi custom shimanos, I dont have a choice, they are only silver. Too bad they didnt have the color of the mtb version. Oh well, my feet bling but are comfy.

I have a white bike with red and blue accents...I also wear blue quickstep jersey and blue socks, so the blue shoes look pretty good.

I'm on the Henry Ford plan. My next set will likely be silver or white. Pity the lack of blue suede.

They've seen a little use.
The tear on the side started in a crash. It's gotten bigger rubbing the shoe on the ground pedaling through corners. (With speedplays directly mounted to the shoe, the cornering clearence is such I hit the side of the shoe to the ground, instead of the pedal.)
On the underneath, the heel pads always fall off. The carbon quickly abrades through. So to patch the abrasion, and make a heel pad that lasts, I just stick some goop on the heel.

Mine are the same color. Only mine have faint hints of what used to be red trim.

I want those with white instead of checker, but I will probably get another pair of specialized in between.
