Cheap Shoes
I think it is time for me to get some bike shoes. I am on a budget so I need to get the cheapest shoes available. I have seen many shoes and I just don't know which shoes are good. I am looking only at clip less shoes because I can't afford pedals. Please give me any suggestions you might have! Thanks!

If I am reading this right, shimano makes relatively inexpensive, decent clipless pedal shoes. I hope you are clear on the concept that clipless shoes require cleats and clipless pedals, as the nomenclature is bizarre from the outside looking in.

Yes. You can't ride a bicycle without pedals.

Free shoes would be the lowest price you could get. Gotta clarify on what pedals you use and such.
What size do you wear? If you respond, I will tell you why I asked.

Used bike shoes can be had for cheap on Craigslist.

Just get whatever then. Harder the sole, the better power transfer, but honestly I don't think it would matter much. Just wear/get whatever you like.
