Commuting - Shoe recommendations with toe clips please.

I usually ride clipless, but I want to be able to hop off my bike and go right to work. I can wear sneakers at my job.

I was just wondering if anybody had ideas on what works good with toeclips.

Adidas Sambas worked for me.

I've found most indoor soccer shoes work just fine.

I generally wear nothing but sneakers. Anything without a giant basketball sneaker sort of toe works.

Since you ride clipless, why not get some Egg Beaters and wear mtn bike shoes that look like sneakers. That's what I do.

I checked out the Sambas, of course they don't have my size, but they are along the lines of what I need. Regular sneakers have really fat heels now and I kick my chainstays all the time. I might try some different indoor soccer shoes. we'll see.

Try online. I got a good deal on the last pair I bought, using froogle.

I used tennis shoes and that worked fine until I started extending my rides out beyond 30 miles. At that point, I started to get hot spots because sneakers have a very flexible sole. I purchased Lake Mtb Shoes and used them without cleats. Easy to walk in, no problem.

When I finally switched to clipless, I got Frogs and used the same shoes. Since I don't ride to work everyday, I leave whatever shoes I'll want to use in my office the day before.

You should check Zappos.com. In addition to soccer shoes, a lot of the "lifestyle" sneakers are good for cycling.

For everyday toeclip shoes, anything with a clean profile will work.
Avoid knobbly soles, protruding bits of stuff (eg lacing systems)on the uppers. Some of the lighter weight trail shoes work very well.

Vans "Old Skool." Nice low profile, comfortable, and not horribly casual.

maybe 'Roos?

I have a pair of 'roos that are nice and stiff... I was thinking aboooot getting pedals and clips fer 'em. Anybody ride w/ 'Roos??
