Are there some stiff-soled bike shoes that are especailly good to use as "flats," preferably with a slender enough toe to make toe clips simple?

Thanks!

(been looking through the archives, not really seeing this topic addressed...)
I ride on platform pedals and steel-toed work shoes. These shoes have a stiff safety shank and give excellent support. Lots of people tell me what I am doing does not work. Works for me or maybe I just don't know any better.
