I’ve bought some new shoes as dedicated hill-climb racing footwear. They’re Carnac Baroudeurs - perhaps foolishly, I bought them without trying-on from Planet X, but at £69.99 I’d have happily gone through the rigmarole of returning them if they hadn’t fitted. First impressions are that (a) they fit (phew!), (b) they’re much much lighter than the two pairs of 15-year-old Sidi Geniuses that I use for the turbo and for general riding, and (c) however impractical it might be, white is the best colour for cycling shoes!

I’ll plonk them on the scales later if I can find some cleats.

I've had a few Carnac products and always been pleased with them. TT helmet and overshoes for sure, maybe something else too.
Those look alright. Think I'd have gone for a darker colour though. My current road shoes have >20,000 miles on them. I estimated a lifespan of 10,000 when I bought them

I've got three Carnac helmets, two jerseys, two pairs of shorts and a pair of sunglasses, and now these shoes. I'm going to have to invest in some Crep spray or similar to keep them clean, but generally I'll try to keep them pristine and for racing only. Black just doesn't look as good - white is for winners!
