Whichever you want. Sheesh.

I'd think Tevas would be more secure, more shoe-like, but I'm not a big Teva fan.
Honestly, though, people aren't choosing for you because neither one is likely to perform very well.

and yes, those shimano sandals are the dorkiest looking things I've ever seen.

more info plz

they are quick release pedals. the clipless and quill pedals both use the same adaptor so you can switch from on eto the other. designed for folding bikes. 70 bucks for the quills, 110 for the clipless from Harris. they are MKS and require an MKS cleat that fits on SPD bolt patterns.

Can you tell me a bit more about the relative sole stiffness and comfort between Nashbar and Lake sandal?

I used to use a Shimano SD60 sandal (two strap), they wore out and I got Shimano SD65 (three strap) and I don't like them at all, although I loved the SD60.

I am thinking of the Lake, but if the sole is not as stiff (compared to Shimano or Nashbar) that is concerning.

You guys are going about this all wrong.

For riding with sandals, you need BMX platforms and a brake.

hopefully you ride those with argyle socks

hey guy wear flip flops

and you will be happier

than if you wore tevas

Personally I think the clipless sandals would rock if they just weren't so ugly. Granted I'm in the functionality camp more often than the fashion camp.

I rode for about a year in cages with reef/rainbow/adidas sandals and never had a problem.... except that one time I totally busted in some gravel at night when I couldn't see it. But that was either my fault or the car with the kilosun headlights. darn bright things....

I've heard similar opinions about the three strap shimano. I'm going off this review: http://tinyurl.com/3clnqf and I did find the Lakes a little mooshy. My feet did get a little tired when my mileage got up there.

I did a 63.88 mile ride with several roadies and three of them were wearing those Shimano sandals. They said they were fine but you didn't get the same 'pulling-up' power as with regular cycling shoes. And yeah, only recumbent riders should wear these; along with the tie-dye t-shirt and cut-off jeans.

If the OP is just trying to get to class he should just have the platform pedals and whatever shoes/flip-flops, crocs, chukka boots, earth shoes, duck shoes, boat shoes, etc. he likes.

OP, I think the rather lightweight nature of your query is what brought out the sarcasm, dry wit, etc. Don't take it personally; dish it right back.;)

I've done many >75mi rides with Shimano sandals, hill climb TTs (and very competetively), several centuries. Always comfortable. Easy to tighten straps for full pull up power.
The SD60s looked bit better than the bulky SD65s and are a bit more comfortable too.
