Let me check to make sure we are not under the racing form, we are not. Welcome to the way 96%+ people in the world ride their bicycle. I personally do not understand why anyone who commutes would want to wear clip less. To much stop and go. I am a daily commuter and what you would call a utility cyclist (go to grocery store, shopping, wife and I even ride our bicycles to go out to eat and the movies) and clip less shoes would just get in the way. Plus they cost a fair amount extra, for little if any benefit to a non racing cyclist.
Just make sure to use a shoe with a fairly rigid sole and a decent tread and your feet will be fine. I wear a cross trainer style shoe with my platforms and have never had any problems.
Enjoy the freedom of platform pedals!
