Has anyone tried these shoes?

They look pretty comfy & can pass by as "office" shoes. I wonder if they will eventually come with clips?

No indication of whether or not the sole includes a steel or wood stiffener as older classic bike shoes did. If not then a rubber sole that thin may not be stiff enough for comfort when riding with most classic road or track pedals with toe clips. No indication either of the ability to mount classic cleats as used to be used with clips and straps.
Leather covered toe clips as available from Velo Orange IIRC could reduce top and front scuffing somewhat.

I always keep a pair of "office shoes" under my desk when commuting. That way my cycling shoes are my cycling shoes, and my office shoes are my office shoes, and neither one is a semi-acceptable compromise.
