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 use toe clips, no straps, and I have a pair of bike shoes with no cleats on them. It makes a significant difference over street shoes, although I still sometimes ride with street shoes.
