I ride in clipless: road shoes, MTB shoes and sandels. I also ride in regular: tennis shoes, Adi Racer driving shoes, and cross trainers when I'm biking to the gym. Ain't no rules, whatever works. The one caution is you don't want a sole with flex, if you are wearing athletic shoes you need some rigidity in the shoe. I've found retro tennis shoes are supremely comfortable, they have flat and stiff shoes and breath well. I suspect Chrome's Kursks would be very similar.
