Nope, not pretty. 
I have Specialized mtb pro carbon soled shoes that rival the stiffness of a road shoe. And unlike road shoes, I can hike in them should I have a mechanical failure out in the boondocks.

I know, the reason I don't have doms yet! Once you are sold on the Doms try to sell the Genius to recoup some of the loss.
Good luck!

Has anybody else noticed TE has really good prices on the Dominators? I have been looking (but have not purchased yet), and they seem about $30 cheaper than most places.
*whine* I'm giving my beloved ruby slippers more of a chance this summer. However, I 'spect I need a larger size after the black toenails from last September's MS ride...
Why, oh why, can't they make red again???

I did buy my Dominators on TE. There was also a sale of some sort at the time which made them even cheaper.
I would have loved the Ruby slippers but the Sapphire ones are also nice.

Another Dominator wearer here. The name just makes me giggle a little bit.
Do I look submissive in these shoes?

Hey Chicago....I know you from bike forum
I ordered my dom's Tues morning, and I just got word they shipped today....2 1/2 days to ship out a pair of shoes? I was hoping to have them by the weekend...
If I had ordered from TE (They didn't have my size, I got '08's) they would be here already

I would have bought them from you.
Yep... I am from bikeforums as well... I recognized you too. I should make it simpler and keep the same forum name globally, LOL!!
I just got my Sidi Zeta shoes and their pretty nice. Now that I see them in white...I'm wondering if I should have gone with a color... not sure if I'll keep them... but they do fit good.
Good luck with your dom's...

Dominator update...Love these shoes. Had a simple interval trainer workout with them this evening. easy to clip in and out, I really like them a lot.
I guess I am a dominator, not a genius ( I should have known that all along lol)
