PI just seems to assume that most cyclists don't walk.

I never could get the AmFibs on any shoes I have...and I don't have big feet. Look at the Performance brand booties. The things wear like iron. I have a pair that I've used for more than 5 years and they are still going strong...a little funky, maybe.
