I keep going back to ye olde Adidas Samba. I was particularly into them when I still rode with clips 'n straps, as the aero profile of the shoe worked well in that regard. I'm sticking with them on platform pedals cause they're just great, comfy, minimal shoes. I've been trying out the Evolv C

[RBW] Re: What do Ricendell riders use for cycling shoes (not clipless).

I use Keen Commuters to ride clipless but I am just as happy riding in regular keen sandals when I ride without "special shoes" I think the keen sole is thick enough that you won't feel the rat traps - I don't on my Shimano PD 324s when I ride the platform side (rat trap like). On Monday, April

My foot position changes from mid-foot (climbing) to ball (spinning) and I haven't had the slightest foot issue in 20,000 miles of riding the past 4 years. I don't understand what you mean by "inefficient", but I change my foot position to the orientation that feels best for what I'm doing and "

At the risk of sounding very Retrogrouch, I'll say I really don't understand the perceived need for "stiff" cycling shoes, given the fairly low intensity of pedaling a bicycle. I have worn minimalist shoes for a few years now because they're extremely light and breathable and very comfortable to

[RBW] Re: What do Ricendell riders use for cycling shoes (not clipless).

My winning combo is VP pedals with Asics running shoes. Light shoe, terrific interface with the pedal, excellent grip, and never feel the pedal through the sole. Only drawback is this shoe is a bit minimalist for winter riding, but it doesn't rain anymore, so I just wear a thicker sock when it'
