For those who are not clipless

funny, i was having the same problem with keens. With my powergrips, i couldn't get them adjusted right and my feet fit crooked into them, it freaked my DH that i might be ruining my knees and he was very against the power straps. I supposed if i had narrower feet i'd still be wearing the powergrips. I switched to wearing a cycling shoe with them, and still had the same problem.

I have issues with Keens in my PowerGrip straps too. The Keens have a sort of big rubber ball shaped toe, which can resist being pulled out of the straps.
None of my other shoes have this problem- hiking boots, running shoes, etc....all fine with the Powergrips.

My favorite shoes for wearing with platform pedals are my various Ahnu casual shoes. They aren't super stiff but they are fine, and the sole is particularly grippy. They are much lower profile than Keens so I think they'd be fine with clips and straps, although I have not tried that yet.

I think cycling shoes with clips and straps are a misery and not worth the trouble.

I would think so too! But maybe it's the stiff sole they are after?
