I have different shoes for different purposes, but don't often shop for new. I guess I have 5. I have 3 pair of road shoes (Bontrager I use daily, Shimano I use with my Lemond (different pedal system) on the trainer and an older pair of Carnacs I'm keeping only for backup and riding in the rain). Then I have a pair of mountain biking shoes and a pair of Keen Presidio Pedal shoes. I use the latter on the hybrid for errands and riding with my family. I use Shimano A530 pedals with the Keens and they are good to use both clicked in and on the platform side of the pedal. I really love those shoes. I haven't been out on my mountain bike or worn those shoes since I started riding again. I'll hang on to them just in case I ever decide to venture into the dirt again. For me, I don't like breaking in shoes, so I don't like to buy often. But I like looking at them.
