WHY GET NEW SHOES?
IN SHOE DOG, the great Phil Knight said, History is a long processional of crazy ideas. I could never spend a couple of Benjamins on penny loafers. That's crazy. Show me some super sexy shoes for my sport...
... and suddenly there's plenty of green for that investment.
It was skater-cum-Fizik boss Cheyne who enlightened me to a new need.
Obviously not a want...
- ridiculously breathable uppers
- insanely light carbon soles
- aero fastenings
... this was a must have.
Because, there is absolutely nothing worse than the foot pain I often endure on an epic cycling adventure or race.
Nothing.
You know what else is just plain silly?...
... is they are white.
Not just any white,
glowing god-like white.
The kind of thing you might see in a vision.
If I was a...
- Trackie
- Zwifter
- Pelotoner
... it mightpossiblyperhaps be okay.
I'm not.
These will be used for racing outside,
on gravel
and dirt.
I still have their predecessors, my black road shoes, for...
- rainy
- muddy
- ugly weather
... but, even then, these are gonna get dirty.
Most likely,
tomorrow.
Note: I have found the best combo for me is road shoes with the adapter Shimano makes for MTB cleats/pedals. I prefer Crankbrothers... also under the same umbrella as Fizik.

How do you think they'll look with the socks from the Vuelta-inspired GC Red Collection?
