For me, regular shoes with toestraps have been very comfortable. But I can't for the life of me find the right clip in setup. I've been through 4-5 shoes now, and as a last resort, ordered a pair of sandals. Went out for my first ride in those sandals today, and felt the same discomfort as I always get with clipless pedals. I don't get it...... My foot is in the exact same location going from toestraps to clipless pedals.
