The important thing in shoes for cycling is to have soles that are as stiff as possible to provide good support and avoid hot spots, so soft soled running shoes are not the best choice. Also, I'd suggest getting wide platform style pedals to provide the largest foot contact area. If you want to get the most pedalling efficiency, then some sort of straps can also be used, but this is not essential on a SS setup.
