I've seen a lot of discussion on the boards about clipless and know that there is a certain type of shoe required for them. What I'm wondering though is given I'm not using clipless pedals (just plain old came with the bike ones) is there a certain type of shoe I should be using? Are cycling shoes just for use with clipless pedals? I'm not sure I'm ready to go to clipless yet, I think I'd like to be more comfortable with the bike, stops and starts. . . and HILLS (can we say slug?) before I give those a try.
