I use Nike Air Mavin low 2's. Not the best for power transfer because of the padding, but I solved that with a custom wood sole I made with a hinge for walkability. I have smaller feet, but the tip is rounded, the top is padded, and it doesn't look to dorky. It is a basketball shoe, so there is a little bit that sticks out. For me, I can pull the strap behind that and it "locks" into place, so that could be a pro or a con depending on what you like. It comes in all black.
