MKS Touring Shoes + Power Grips + Small Wide Feet: Skateboard Shoes?
I've known since I was 14 years old that I have the perfect skateboard foot: Small but wide, perfect for angling the board into tight turns.
It appears I may be making a full (skateboarding) circle, upon seeing several cyclists recommend skateboard shoes for MKS pedals and Power Grips. My metropark bike has MKS pedals and Power Grips ... and because I'm having trouble finding biking shoes for small wide feet ... I'm wondering if skateboard shoes might do the trick.
Are there any good skateboard shoe vendors that offer good selection of shoes ... for MKS touring pedals and Power Grips ... for my size 7.5 Wide feet? And are comfortable for walking around the metropark?

"KEEN" hybrid sandals are quite wide fitting. I use the Venice model with MKS mtb pedals and PowerGrips on account of they have a relatively smooth top.
Keen famously undersize their footwear - go for a size up from your normal. They're nice and cool.
But my old sneakers are fine too. And my hiking boots. And my work boots. (have to adjust the straps tho) Never had a problem getting my feet out in a hurry.
