Bikes: More than I have room for.

With my size 13 foot, I go with what fits first and price second. How it attaches to my foot is dictated by the first two priorities and I'm not especially partial to any of them. Current pair of riding shoes are velcro and have been fantastic. Thousands of miles worth of use with the velcro still going strong. I'll probably wear the shoe out first.
I'd like to get a good pair of carbon soled shoes at some point, those will probably have BOAs and I'll probably be just as happy with them.
My around town commuter shoe for my flat pedal bikes is old Adidas Sambas with conventional laces. No issues with the laces being caught in the chainrings but I have them double knotted and that keeps the extra lacing pretty short.

Last point, I've also never adjusted my shoes while on the bike. I make sure they feet right before getting on the bike, it's easy to do. If I ever did need to adjust, I'd just stop. Like a normal person.
