You will need a pretty stiff sole for those pedals. Some hiking shoes might work well, I have worn some Merrill Moab hiking shoes on a pedal like that, but would not want something like a running shoe. (There are many Merrill Moab shoe models, mine were Goretex low cut ones.)

You refer to "clipless". As a suggestion for what I should get? And toe-clips...I don't understand.
Decades ago, what you refer to as cages were called toe clips. Thus, the newer style of shoes that used shoe cleats were called clipless.
