I bought these and have had no problems with them and they are comfortable. Makes me wonder why more people don't use velcro shoes in regular life.. must be an image thing.

I've never had problems with foot pain or power and love being able to clip in from both sides without having to look with the hybrid pedals or MTB pedals vs one sided entry on most roadie pedals. I did realize I was doing it wrong but I'm not spending $150+ on new shoes and pedals when the ones I have work so well. I'll upgrade when they wear out. I have no foot pain and can walk around fine in them.
