Fluorescent footwear flies across floor at Eurobike 2013
Your feet are the next thing to be coloured in by a highlighter pen. Every shoe brand out there has a colour that will etch its mark into your retinas. Fluoro green seems to be the most common which, apart from your new carbon bike, doesn't really go with anything, apart from black. I like this look but then I am old enough to have lived through the fad of fluorescent socks in the 80's.
Sidi is right on trend with these dayglo numbers
Eye-searing orange, sir? Hand me my shades and I'll show you some thermonuclear Northwaves.
Even previously-conservative fizik has gone one louder.
Folks like FLR have gone all patterned as well as lairy.
Bont will make you the Vaypor or Vaypor Plus in any colour scheme you like.

[[[[ I think they might make the bike look dingy...
P.R.
+1 for matte finishes (although shiny ones scrub up easier). Does anyone know if the 2014 Bont custom colour thing is a step beyond what they offer now (which is a very limited palette for 3 different parts of the uppers).
The fiziks look great, the matte finish is really nice.
Not keen on shiny shoes, they look like they're made for the dancefloor.
I like the Bont ones,they are more of a matte texture...
Truly awful!
Nasty in the eighties and still as nasty....
Ok, who's trying to confuse me....Are their two different pinks in the Bont range?
{makes note to check On One/Planet X's website next year for heavily-discounted purple fizik shoes}
