You raise a good point there regarding the shoes best suited for a pedal. I know this question has been asked numerous times in the past (I think I even posted it once myself) but has anyone found a good shoe to ride for clipless pedals? or even steel toe clip pedals?
I know a few places make new retro leather shoes for riding vintage bikes and pedals but someone has to make a modern comfortable shoe that's ideal for riding without having to use cleats? In my discovery, an indoor soccer shoe might be a good fit, with a hard flat sole and lightweight, breathable material. I prefer Velcro straps over laces as I've had more than one situation when my laces got caught in my crank when riding. Not fun!
Something like this:
