This is the route I'd go, err, I went.
I have some SIDIs, which are nice to ride in, but uber-uncomfortable to walk in, so I can see why that might not appeal to somebody. But the Pearl Izumi Vagabonds that have been my commuting shoes for past four years, man, they are soooo comfortable, and have a nice, boxy-fit to boot.
I go grocery shopping in these shoes.
