I'm wondering about what shoes to take on my cross country tour. Right now my cycling shoes are Pearl Izumi Vagabond mtb shoes. I really like them for cycling, but they're not the best for doing much walking around. I was originally planning on just taking a pair of crocs along to wear around the camp site, sight seeing, and anytime I'm off my bike. But as I think ahead neither pair of shoes will be that great for any extended hiking. I dont plan on doing anything too harcore but will probably do a little in some of the national parks that we hit. Any suggestions?

FWIW, I just picked up a pair of Teva sport sandals for hiking and cycle touring use. They're light, shed water quickly, pack better than shoes, and are much more appropriate for general use than Crocs or flip-flops.

You might also want to use your bike sometimes without clipping in. You can get pedals that have clips on one side, platform on the other (eg Shimano M324). Someone also makes a plastic platform that clips into the pedal.

Well, I usually wear cycling shoes while cycling, and carry Teva's for off cycle use. Works for me.
