I rode with clips and straps for years, and, with the availability of clipless pedals and shoes it no longer makes sense.
That said, my son rides his geared bike with clips and straps because he rides in running shoes and runs a lot.
I wear Mountain Bike shoes and sandals, and I can spend the day in them comfortably.
At work I keep a pair of work shoes for appearances.
In my humble opinion, those who ride with clips and straps do so for fashion reasons and not for practicality.
