I hear you, but let's not forget that comfort and safety go hand in hand when it comes to cycling. Sure, shoe tans and clipping in/out struggles might seem trivial, but they can impact your overall experience.
Take it from me, I once had a pair of cycling shoes that gave me blisters so bad, I couldn't walk for days. It was like stepping on hot coals with every step. And let me tell you, that's not a fun experience to have after a long ride.
Moreover, I've seen riders who neglect their footwear end up with serious injuries from accidents caused by discomfort or improper fit. So, while it's easy to brush off these issues as minor inconveniences, they can have real consequences.
That being said, I'm all for embracing the barefoot life if it works for you. Just make sure you're taking the necessary precautions to protect yourself and others on the road. After all, we're all in this together, and a little consideration can go a long way. #cyclinglife #safetyfirst
