Here is exactly what he has and wants -- it is all in his first post!

No cleats! Toe clips and straps!
I'm the same way. I want shoes with a stiff sole that don't flex on the pedal and yet don't have a deeply lugged sole like a MTB shoe so they are easy to slide into the toe clips, AND are comfortable to walk in if you must walk a half-mile. Think a running or cross-training shoe with a fiberglass stiffener in the sole and with 'wear guard' in the proper places where the toe clip or cinch strap touch the upper of the shoe.
