Surprisingly, they've done studies on how people perceive the weight of their shoes based on the color. Far and away, people believed that white shoes were lighter than darker shoes, even if the shoes weighed exactly the same amount. And people by and larger want lightweight shoes.
There's also the heat factor. Darker fabric would absorb more heat than lighter fabric, resulting in hotter feet.
Is it because they get worn out and faded sooner than dark runners so you buy more?

It's funny, no matter how irrational I KNOW it is, I always feel "faster" in white shoes.

This helps demonstrate how stupid some people are. White is actually a compilation of ALL primary colors and therefore heavier than your typical dark color which contains fewer primary colors.
so you're telling me people are stupid because the white dye they use for shoes is noticably/significantly heavier than the darker more natural colored shoes.
i think they (shoe company) use white so they get beat up sooner and people buy them more often... but i HIGHLY DOUBT (please do some research, i did not) it makes more than about .05 ounce of a difference when you compare white shoe dye vs non-white. its the same effing fabric were talking about...

The phenomenon you are recalling was introduced in your general science class not in your art class. White is achieved by mixing all colors of light. Try mixing all of your paint/dye colors and you’ll get an ugly brownish black.
