It'd be cool if they were clipless capable similar to these:

Yep, that's why I ordered a pair. There are lotsa rad shoes out but impossible to find (like the vans supercorsa) so I was excited to get the email Monday. Only lame thing is they are made in China, but the Chrome dude convinced me on the phone I should buy them (he said there were no manufactures in the US capable of making them).

I meant braking like shoes on the tire... lazy but effective. Sneakers tear up awful quick stopping like that. It'd be a nice touch to reinforce that area of the shoe, that would really distinguish it from $30 chucks.

Soooooooooooooooooooo... Shoes should be specifically designed for the stupidest style of braking that like 10 people do? What? Maybe cars should be designed for easier e-brake skid stops? Seriously, Chrome should have made some decent looking clipless-compatible shoes so I could finally put those Smarties that I have hanging around to use. HUGE failure on their part.
Edit: Maybe I shouldn't say failure. Just a big missed opportunity. If they're reinforcing the soles already it would be a simple matter to make something that would work clipless, since the stiffness is already sort of there. Right?
