Lately, I've been all about low-cut Pro-Keds Royal Masters:

I was cleaning out a box of stuff in my parents' basement and found four pairs of these I bought in high school at a place called (no joke) Bargain! Bargain! A Bargain Store! for $2ea. I would like find some more...

The Adidas Tuscany's have a nice shape but the flat soles will lead to trouble. You'll have to really crank down the straps (and maybe crush your toes) to avoid pulling out when it's wet or you're skidding. Or switch to mountain pedals.

Bikes: highly modified specialized crossroads and GT hybrid (really a [formerly] 12-speed bmx cruiser, made before 'hybrid' took on its current meaning), as yet unmodified redline 925, couple of other projects

or any other lowtop hiker - very very stiff, plenty of ventilation, you can use 'em as a slipon and still get lots of support. i wouldn't wear anything else.
