I have a regular Specialized mountain bike shoe I use for mountain biking trails. When I ride in the city (family rides, commuter) I use the SixSixOne Launch shoes that I bought from PricePoint
They are SPD compatible and work well with my Crank Brothers Candy SL pedals.

For quite a while, I've just ridden in a regular pair of cross trainers. I'm sure skate shoes would be noticeably better, but these do pretty well.
Santiago, do those 661 shoes work well with both platform and clipless pedals?

Just buy a skate shoe. They are very comfortable, keep your foot nice and padded, and look stylish.

Even with the cleats in, I have no problem walking around even though the sole is a little stiff. The cleats don't really touch the ground when I walk around.
