SPuDs n' walkable shoes if you wanna try.

But there are other options, like Power Grips or even no retention at
all. Good sticky pedals, like pinned mtb stuff and the new Grip King
by MKS are ignored by most road riders. It's nice to just be able to
ride in whatever sneaks you got on--and that goes for toe clips as
well, not everything fits right in them. I do most of my riding these
days in Clarks sneaker shoes and MKS Sylvans with no retention. 30-40
mile trips, no problem.

It might be that the monkeysuiters have gotten out of hand in
aggressiveness around here and I don't wanna be confused with 'em, but
I find myself putting on full kit less and less often, and opting for
the "German tourist on day trip" stealth look instead. Brown shoes and
black ankle socks will totally psych people out.

As much as the Teva's I wear with Clips? Wind feels good on my toes.

Tevas with SPD cleats?
