I mostly ride around in some Onisuka Tigers.

When it gets cold/wet, I like to go for mid-top AF1's. The soles are pretty stiff and they are comfy.

Am I the only one who hates the long tongue version of the Samba? Everyone I know goes ape-**** over them and I think the extra tongue is an uncomfortable nuisance.

When I bought mine, I couldn't get the shorter ones anywhere local. I hate the long tongue, but its there for a purpose.

I figured. I was pretty much implying how it has no use whatsoever when cycling. This is, after all, a thread about shoes worn while riding a bike.

Adidas Adi Racers, four colors...I have three pair, 2 bought from Zappos online. Note, not so good for cages; the nose is not reinforced, but great for straps.

Tigers are too soft, thin for me. Like wearing slippers.

Second vote for the Sperry's. I've done several metric centuries wearing them. They're the perfect size to fit in my toe clips, dry out quickly from sweat or rain, and stylish enought that unless you're going to work you don't need to bring another pair of shoes.

agreed. it also makes pants fit oddly.

these puma el ace's have been good, though the front by the balls of my feet have been getting shredded by clips:



just ordered a pair of chrome mid-rises; what i really need is something waterproof here in NYC.

tigers all thru the summer. luckily in my line of work they seem to sponsor a ton of events, so i can score 'em free quite often (!), which is good as they get STINKY after a while.

I've got a couple pairs of the Chrome Kursks. They're holding up pretty well so far, unlike the Converse All-Stars I previously used. It's probably worth noting that the Converse are a lot less expensive, too.
