Looks like your in San Fransisco correct?
If so, find Chrome's retail store - try out their urban line of cycling shoes. I have a pair that I love that are grippy, stiff soled and stylish. Since you live in SF you can go to their store and probably try them on.

On their site it says if you live in SF - they'll have Godspeed bike messengers deliver your online order (if you order by 1pm) on the same day. That's coolness.
