What kind of pedals?
-rat traps with sealed bearings;
PowerStraps bolted to the stock clip-on mounting holes;
modified with composite foot-beds to both fit my shortest leg and eliminate any possibility of any hint of a "hot" spot.
What kind of shoes?
-Any, including (but not limited to) bare feet.
Honestly, I ride with the cheapest, lightest pair of running shoes I have. For protection;
and only spin the pedals barefoot when the bike is on the trainer, for ventilation.
I think out of the box....
