So I just opened my new Nike Streak racing flats in all white. Only to my dismay to realize they are a half size too small and I had to order a half size up. But disaster struck when there were no cool colors available in that size! M race times will surely be 10-15 seconds slower because of this but I wonder...do I race in the smaller shoes risking injury to keep the snazzy color scheme, or do I order boring colored shoes that fit me and risk running slow?

This is the first thread I've looked at on this site that I honestly hate.
Well done
Keep the white ones
I ordered a second pair so I can compare the relative benefits of each size vs the color scheme.
Your white shoes will only be faster if you draw a fast animal on them. Ostrich: 5% improvement, cheetah: 10%. Be sure to draw the same animal on each shoe to prevent imbalance. Good luck.
Wear the faster color on your right foot and the slower on your left. Because your right foot has to travel farther when you go clockwise on a track, that will balance things out for you.
