If you are going to be touring during the warmer months I highly recomend cycling sandals. I wore my Keen sandals for a two week tour in August and have actually not stop riding with them yet. They have become, IMO, the perfect cycling shoe. They were the only shoes I took on my tour which saved on weight and space. If the weather is less than perfect add a pair of wool socks. They are easy to walk around town in and if your feet get hot, right into a lake, stream or river. Plus you get very cool Tony the Tiger like tan lines on your feet!
