They work good. You can bend your toes and they bend with them..
You can feel the pedal..
I like to know i have good pedal contact..

If I'm going any distance, I like to use a stiff-soled bike shoe. Since it's still chilly around here, I'm using my fleece-lined winter shoes:

Sidi Dominators, I'm on my 4th pair of Sidi's in 30 years.

Specialized something-or-other road bike shoes.
Prior to using cycling shoes, I had some shoes from REI that had fairly stiff soles and worked better than sneakers.

them shoes don't look too comfortable

It depends on what I am riding.

I usually live in Merrell barefoot shoes and these work with flat pedals while I also have most of my day to day rides equipped with 50/50 flat / spd pedals and have several pairs of mtb / touring shoes to wear with them that are also comfortable off the bike and pass as running shoes.

My mountain bike has eggbeaters and a pair of dedicated Adidas mtb shoes (stiffer) as does my road bike that uses Look pedals and cleats with another pair of Adidas racing shoes.

Birkenstocks most of the time.

For my road bike I have a pair of Chain and a vintage pair of aviva. I also like to ride my rat traps pedals with a pair of all leather nikes.

Specialized S-Works on my road bike
Giro Privateer on my CX bike
Whatever on my beater bike

Northwestrider 04-30-14 09:48 PM

Plain old Keen Sandals

krobinson103 04-30-14 09:53 PM

Sandals or running shoes. Army boots in the winter.

The last few years I have been wearing steel toed shoes. They come in real handy just about anywhere.
Steel is real. ha

Whatever is on my feet... I try to stay away from barefoot riding and open toes.

Aaron :)

Barefoot riding with freeride pedals would be very painful....

Lake Mountain Bike Shoes.

Shoes that don't bend ... they've got stiff soles so that my feet don't hurt while riding.

Little Darwin 05-01-14 07:45 AM

I have a pair of Lake Trekking shoes (they came in the wide width I need) with cleats for my Crank Bros Candy pedals. I use them after I have enough miles to feel stable clipping in.

Since I haven't ridden significant mileage for a few years, I am currently wearing my Columbia hiking boots on cool days, and Reebok walking shoes otherwise. These are the shoes I wear all day, so basically if I don't clip in, I ride with whatever I am wearing that day. :)

For my two fastest road/race bikes: 80's Diadora leather velcro-closure shoes, comfortable but stiff with SPD-SL; neoprene booties for winter

For touring/utility/fixed/mountain: Shimano lace up MTB shoes with SPD; neoprene booties for winter

For fixed/utility/touring/mountain: Lake sandals with SPD, the closed toe cap ones. They're pretty comfortable and fit the foot surprisingly well.

I only ride clipless. If I'm riding to a "walking around" destination, then I throw appropriate shoes into my pannier, trunk bag, or backpack.

Cyclosaurus 05-01-14 09:33 AM

I have Keen Austin and Keen Commuter II shoes for riding clipped in.

For platform pedals, my favorite is my Teva Roller Mesh shoes
