Old skooool toe straps!! I am riding an old bike that is a bit rusty but still showroom spec including pedals and straps and want to try and keep it that way if possible. Is there a standard STW answer that doesn’t involve:
1) shimano spds
2) standard flat pedals

My 5.10s wont fit in and I think a standard pair of trainers will have my feet aching after a couple of hours

So does anyone use straps for anything and if so what shoes fit and are comfy for a few hours?

How about golf shoes (without the spikes)? Normally a fairly stiff sole and normal ‘trainer’ sized ie not too bulky..

Maybe have a look at some “touring shoes”, Shimano and Specialized do some and Im sure there will be others. Tend to have stiff-ish rubber sole but easy to walk in, and even if SPD compatible just dont bother to cut the SPD rubber bit out of the sole and use like normal?
