Well, would you?

Have long been wanting the decathlon btwin 700 road shoe (since christmas) but they have been out of stock. Just went on their website and saw these...

So my question is would you wear these?

They do obv have some black and white jobs, but really! Blue and pink!

I love these shoes and did buy a pair. Had to return them as the fit wasn't quite right. Tried next size up and still wasn't a good fit. I have very wide toes and the toe box on these is definitely designed for narrower feet. Its a pity, as I really liked them. Especially in the pink and blue

You could always have a pink and blue (sorry, celeste) bike to go with them:

Hmm - might give them a miss or try and get to a Decathlon shop then. Shame they don't cater for proper shoe sizes - UK 11? Pah, small feet.

FWIW i'm a 41 Shimano (and DHB) but my black Decathlon 700s in 41 are much too tight (and short) in the toe box and going back. I'd try a 42 if they had any in stock, like the rest of the shoe a lot . Had similar issues with Specialized BG road shoes in 41 as well - too short, too tight.

I was looking at these. I'm a 46 Shimano, but would usually take a 47 shoe. Can't decide whether to take the risk - thoughts?

do it, and wear mismatched socks when you do.

How do they come out size wise? Are they pretty true to standard sizing or do they come up a bit small / narrow?

If they were comfy & did the job I'd wear them without a doubt.

 

Might even buy a pair! yes

There is something distinctly odd about those shoes.

Just because they are there, doesn't mean you have to....

I would have to agree, the older versions in all white looked really good (IMO)

OK, have an unused black pair in 41 that's a tad narrow feeling , thought I'd ask before returning them. Although too bold for me, I think the blue/pink pair have a certain style, but then again i wore mixed Vans in the '70s when skating so I'm probably not the best judge..

I'd wear pink pixieboots.  I wouldn't wear one blue and one pink, that's just odd.

If you prefer all pink or all blue, you could buy the MTB/SPuD variants as well, they have the colours the other way round.

Of course that does mean mix/match pedals on your bike though

Look good, especially on someone fit looking to really pull off that racy look.

If they fit and are comfortable, sure, why not?

Better than fluoro.
