    They were OK for riding and a person could also walk pretty well in
    them. Further, you could wear them as you walked into the office and
    everyone didn't turn their face away and snicker... a trait not shared
    by much of today's bicycle attire, I'm afraid. Is that product still
    on the market anyplace?

    Look at the low end Shimano moutain biking shoes. There's even a shoe
    that looks like a sneaker that has a cutout for the SPD clipless pedals

    I wouldn't ride those shoes on a clipless pedal without any kind of
    platform (like the Shimano M520) in these (they're really not stiff
    enough, IMO). I'd go with something like this:

    This is a flip-flop pedal, with a sneaker-type platform on one side and
    a clipless pedal on the other.

    Although I would seriously think about the 424 instead

    This one is symmetrical, so you don't have to really look when you put
    your foot down. You can use a sneaker on both sides of this pedal or a
    cleated shoe.

    That's all if you want to go clipless. You can use that shimano shoe on
    the top of this post to just walk around and use on platform pedals.
