Chrome bags makes some nice street shoes with a fiberglass insert to make the sole rigid enough for biking (so it doesn't flex over the pedals making your feet numb.) With a gnarly tread that grips the pedals and a small reflective strip on the heel. They look like Chucks but made functional for biking and a big plus to me, they don't look dopey like some cycling shoes.
They run about $70 - $100 dollars depending on the model but they are pure style. Get some of these and run toe clips.

Turn that bike into a *real* grocery getter.
Xtracycle is doing an inventory reduction sale right now, by the way... (and you can get the extension; you don't have to get a whole bike). I don't own stock in 'em, just own one that let's me do without one of those car things most of the time.

I got a pair of Keen shoes from REI for that exact problem. I wanted the toe clip, but only on the right side, because I stop at every stop sign and stop light, and I like to be able to get my foot in the start position quickly. My running shoes are too wide and these Keen shoes were exactly right.
