I think they look ok. The citrus/grey one actually looks pretty good, imho. Admittedly I have been running in Hoka for about 18 months now. I know I used to think they looked ugly. I didn't even want to try them at first but I was desperate. When I did I was self conscious about them as well and thought people might stare or do a double take. But I can run now so to me they are beautiful.
