Due to an orthopedic injury I cannot use clipless pedals - I ride around 5-6000 km per year with platform or flat pedals. Have tried a lot of different shoes. In winter I like LLBean snow sneakers - a good balance of light weight, warmth and pedaling comfort. Rest of the year I have the Chrome shoes - their lower cut model in both tie and slip on. Not sure why - use the tie more in sping and fall, slip on more for summer. The Chromes have worn well, feel good with the various pedals I use, comfortable off the bike. Their only drawback- they are a little warm on hot days. Another good choice was a "Simple" with the sole made from used car tires- sole lasted longer than the canvas tops.
