My new waterproof summer cycling shoes

[Ganymede]

Worn with Wedgewood-blue stretchy pedal pushers, c'est le dernier cri, non? All silicon (excluding buckles and bow-rivet) so I am assuming they will stand up to the thunderstorm I am expecting to cycle home in tonight..

 

[SatNavSaysStraightOn]

flat pedals I hope otherwise those bows are going to get squashed by toeclips!

Absolutely! It is just my usual 12mph-ish commuting around on my hybrid. I'm sure they make some without bows - bows are not usually my style but there's something about these that makes them not too girly and they are sooo practical!

 

[Ganymede]

I may not rush out and get a pair

Oh go on....

 

[Ganymede]

No - I must put my foot down on this

Nice blue sox!

 

[SatNavSaysStraightOn]

slightly more sexy that my choices... (I also have a set of wellie clogs and a set of hiking boots for my 4 choices! )

Edit: oh and 2 sets of Scarpa Mantra's (mountaineering boots!)

I'm in love now. No silly girlie stuff in your closet

....go on then, 26, show us your girly stuff.

I'm only allowed to get it out when Mrs 26 isn't around. She gets cross as my little black number does a lot more for me than it does for her

I'm hoping @Ganymede is female. Nothing at all wrong if she isn't but..
Shaven legs ain't much help in 'Guess the gender' on here either.

I could keep you guessing but it is quite plain elsewhere on the forum! (If you know your Shakespeare, see As You Like It!) Mind you I'm slightly disappointed that you thought they might be men's legs - remember they were foreshortened by the selfie!

Ahh, @SatNavSaysStraightOn, this is more like what I usually wear! @twentysix by twentyfive can scoff at my bows, but he should see the heavy duty cobbler's delights that usually grace my tootsies in the outdoors. I too have Scarpa boots for walking!

Well the fancy tootsie-popsies did their job last night as I came home in a bit of squall. They were actually less slippery on our stone path than my rough old Merrill walkers, as they have rows of little silicon bumps all over the soles, I felt I could have climbed Scafell in them. So, verdict is cute but ludicrously practical. So there.

You could be my friend that I most often cycle with, though her Tevas I think are more cyan in colour.

So that's why you're 26x.... your dress size.

Aren't all cyclist legs good looking though?
Sure mine would look brilliant if I shaved them and put heels on. If heels are available in a size 46, and I thought could stand up in them without breaking an ankle.

(I was going to google for the heels, but then thought about the sites they might appear on and didn't)

Nice legs - shame about the lace.

I'm not known for scoffing bows. Now cake - that's a different story
