Yup. Easy to get in and out of the cage, and comfortable. They get stinky though, so designate a pair stictly for riding.

barefoot son!

considering the popularity of fixed gears in this day and age i am suprised that no one has banked on the shoe market, imagine instead of Nike SB it was Nike FG but seriously, i have ridden in vans slip on's and enjoyed it.

I have a pair of Bata touring shoes from th early 80's. Canvas upper, looks like the sole was dipped in old erasers & have a metal plate imbedded where it meets the pedal. Narrow with a skinny little heel. I should photogragh what's left of them. Doubt you could find them now.

What ever my current skate shoes are (usually some form of Vans...they do have the best soles for skateboarding!). When going to softball practice/games, I wear my cleats b/c I don't like lugging a bunch of sh*t w/me. That can get a little dicey sometimes.
