I use Power Grips on my commute.
I have a lot of stop signs and traffic lights on my route.
I need foot retention for left below knee prosthesis, and wearing tennis shoes means I can have the custom orthotic for my remaining foot inside the shoe. My commute is less than 10 miles each way - when I've had 10+ mile commute I use clipless pedals, keep a pair of shoes at work, and carry the orthotic in pannier.
