What are folks wearing these days? I have a 2-3 year old pair of Lakes with a single velcro strap made specific for tri's. I'm looking to upgrade them. I want something that could be used at Sprint, Half & Full distances. Can one shoe cover all of these distances?

I have a pair of Pearl Izumi, 3 strap shoes that I'll most likely use. When I upgrade it'll be with another pair of PI's - possibly the Tri-carbon model. I kind of like having the 3 straps because it allows me to adjust the snugness of the shoes to a greater degree than a single strap allows.

I believe one shoe can do it all - at least it will for me :)

I am using a pair os Shimano SH-TR02 multisport shoes. Carbon sole, wide toe box, and one big strap for easy transitions. I like them. I rode them for about 80 miles yesterday and have ridden them a total of about 500 miles. No compaints as of yet. My LBS is Inside-Out Sports that does the official support for all the IM races, and my contact over there said three of the guys there wore them in the IM in October and didn't have any problems.

I have SIDI Genius 4 Carbons, which works well for both Road and Triathlon.

Sidi T1 - most comfortable footwear of any sort i have ever had!
Easy to get into and out of as well.

I got a pair of the Shimano SH-TR01's for $70 when the SH-TR02 came out. The cool thing about both of these shoes is that the strap is reversed so if you get to the point where you can start with your shoes already clipped into the pedals, the strap is out of the way.

the new PI Tri-carbons are very easy to get into and out of. More so then the Sidi and Shimano's I have tried. I couldn't justify the cost for me when I have entry and exit of my 3 strap PI road shoes down to a science.
