Patrick,
If I recall you wanted shoes that would be compatible with toe clips. Glad
you found your solution at Target (Their Goodfellow brand is decent in the
u-wear category too).
I've been through the same spendy exercise as you in search of a toe clip
compatible shoe. Currently using MKS tou
Talking about a "best shoe" reminds me chain lube discussions ! What's
common to all ? That "what works" has no limits and is not bound to any
particular form. Endless Creativity abounds. . . . and that's pretty
darn awesome !

This just in: The size 10 American $20 Target plimsolls (bought, again, for
clips and straps off road) are *very* big for 10s, and *very* wide. They
are much bigger than the size 11 Specialized "2FO" SPD shoes I bought
earlier in the summer. A 9.5 would have been better, and I daresay they run

Agree on the minimalist shoes and flat pedals. I wear Xero shoes. They are
wonderful and grip well. Enough sole but not too much.

I have to second the recommendation for Merrell Trail Glove shoes for flat
pedal riding. I’d been having all sorts of weird foot numbness and, after
noticing that my PT was wearing Lem’s and asking about “foot shaped shoes”,
went to try some on and ended up with some clearance Merrell Trail Glov
I bought a pair of Merrell Trail Glove minimalist trail running shoes to
try with my bike (has bmx pedals). They are super light and have a "rock
plate" in the sole that makes it stiff over the arch of the foot. It
basically makes it better for supporting your foot on flat pedals.

Birkenstocks have been my go-to for summer riding. I have the suede
versions that are probably better than the thicker leather ones.
I'd like to keep this going as long as I can so I'll need to get the wool
socks out soonish.

I like the simple canvas sneakers too, but usually find them too narrow. I
recently learned that some Converse and Vans now come in wide; I got the
Converse and they make nice riding shoes. (Closer to $60 but still cheaper
than 510s).

Thanks.
Looked on their site, they appear to be the Men's Park Sneakers by
Goodfellow & Co.

Oh, one detail, perhaps more interesting than useful. I bought 2 slightly
expensive pairs of dedicated cycling shoes at the nearby bike shop, full
retail. One those Five Tens at list $150, t'other Specialized or somesuch
"plimsoll" style SPD shoes with flat bottoms for occasions when I want to
ride
Also forgot to add, I ride in Adidas OG Gazelle's.
Great durability(They are my only shoe and I replace them about every year
once the soles wear out), great pedal grip, soft rubber low tread.
Fit is a bit narrow on them tho, so they require a bit more break in than
most.

Target, my good man. Always Target.
Patrick "Target never lets you down" Moore, who has no more details to
give, alas. They were hanging on hooks, looked like what I want, and after
trying them on, I paid for them.

Details on these shoes? They sort of look like the Chrome Truk sneaker,
but less aggressive on the side sole and thicker around the ankles.
