Footwear for commute

[ChrisV]

I have a pair of these Shimano PD MX80 pedals for commuting, but not sure best footwear for commuting. What you all using?

 

[KneesUp]

Converse and normal pedals

 

[grumpyoldwoman]

Normal pedals and waterproof walking boots.

 

[mjr]

Hitec zeros, vegetable shoes office shoes or military-style boots, black Lonsdales... and some other stuff which isn't as smart.

 

[Dogtrousers]

Doc martens

 

[classic33]

Silver Shadow trainers with toe clips & straps.

 

[winjim]

Giro chamber mid downhill boots. Mine take a 2 bolt cleat but Giro make some nice shoes for flat pedals too.

 

[cyberknight]

XC style shoes with 2 bolt spd with a 520 pedals .

 

[summerdays]

Flat spiked pedals with either boots (thought I had finished with them), or converses..... Though I did take my Birkenstocks one day hoping I would be wearing them on the way home....so far it hasn't reached the critical temperature to get my toes out!

 

[shouldbeinbed]

Normal pedals and normal shoes, including my smooth soled work shoes on occasion.

Wet weather = a pair of Sports Direct Karrimor waterproof walking shoes, they cost £20 & are still happily keeping my feet warm & dry after several years of bike and dog walking duties.

 

[Bodhbh]

Silver Shadow trainers with toe clips & straps.

Christ, do they still make those? I've not had a pair since I was in athletics club at school in the 80s! On that note I sometimes commute in a pair of Dunlop Green Flash, but only in summer - they have nada insulation and being canvas aren't much use in the wet either.

On the subject, I use whatever trainers are too worn to use for anything else. With the tread worn off and a smooth sole they're ideal gripping the pedals.

They still make them, plenty out there still use them.

Basically any MTB based trainer style shoes will work

Keep an eye out in sales for a bargain

Running trainers for me.

I cycle to train station and leave my bike there. At the other end, I run from train station to work.

 

[RoubaixCube]

Shimano MT71 on wet days and XC61's on dry days
