Using tennis/hiking/walking shoes with your bike is easy but not compatible with SPD pedals. Here is what you need so you can use almost any shoe while riding your bike.

I've tried clipless shoes and pedals. I never did like them or found any significant improvement over using slipless shoes and pedals.
