Not getting into any debates on this because I really do not know anything about this topic. I am fairly new to biking and all I know us at this point I do not want to have my feet secured to my pedals. That being said, I am told that I should not ride in ordinary sneakers because their soft soles don't transfer the full energy from my legs to the pedals. Can anyone recommend a really good quality bike shoe that does not attach to the pedals and that is also very comfortable to walk in.
