I just finished a 250 mile, 4 day ride using an all leather, fancy dancy shoe called Cycleur De Luxe. Made in the UK I believe. Flat sole with a heel that is quite comfortable for walking. A well made shoe that (unfortunate or not) looks like a wing tip. Using the Velo Orange Touring pedal with no straps I experienced no slipping. I really liked the combination of the shoe and pedal. Bought the shoe through Zappos. Kind of expensive but I'm not disappointed. Tim Petersen
