I'm wondering if anyone has ever come across a pair of green cycling shoes. Any shade would be awesome. I've been looking everywhere.

    I've searched for some a while ago but to no avail. Only shoes I could find with green on them were Sidi ones with a tiny bit of green on the heel. Really want some the same green as Cav's Oakleys from the Tour.

    who remembers Cippo's Italian flag set.

    Green and white on one and white and red on the other. everyone wanted them years ago.

    You will struggle as most buyers want boring hence only boring is made

    or there were those Liquigas Sidis that came out a couple of years ago

    White shoes + green dye = green shoes?
    Looking for a cycling buddy?

    Doubtful the dye would take on cycling shoes as they are generally a man made material. so those gloss Sidi or S-Works would look rubbish (might as well use a Sharpie)

    he had matching shoes but they were custom Nike based on the Lance Armstrong model and with his name on the strap and in Green Jersey green. A few of the peloton have Nike but they are just for them not commercially available

    Thanks for that. I might tweet Cav and see if he's got a spare pair kicking around he'll let me have!

    Bont do some green shoes, and have the advantage of being moldable and stiffer than a porn star on viagra

    I'm sure I saw a pair of Northwave, Team Leopard, shoes on an add on Bike Radar, in a pale minty green.

    Gan't find them now though :roll:

    Thanks Mr752....just a bit suss about ordering from Italy, just heard too many horror stories about their postal system. Also I have to consider, "Will I look like a complete dork wearing green shoes?"

    There a couple of places that sell these, don't think there are many in the UK though.

    Try contacting their distributor:

    Here's a review to tempt you, it includes a couple of other pictures as well:
