I never wear cycling shoes ever, but then I don't use clipless pedals either. I grew up and raced in the 80's with toe clips and straps and that is what I am comfortable with. Since I only ride and train for my own enjoyment these days, I don't see any reason to change after all of these years. I just wish that I could find good new platform pedals instead of having to rebuild ones that I find on eBay.
