what're your fav shoes for city cycling?

my preference is vans slipons, they have good grip - but there is no cushioning or arch support at all so they're not great for walking or standing in

Why are women afraid of proper helmets? For $50 they could have a reasonable weight ventilated helmet with adjustable straps and a visor, but no. They need to spend $90 on the helmet designed to be heavy, unventilated, and poor strap adjustment options to show off how they're not into "cyclist fashion" like those dumb racing vents that don't even make you go faster.

I just use old surplus GATs from the 80s. They're pretty comfy, and pretty robust.

They could at least get a commuter style helmet with a rim to keep the sun out

>commuter style helmet
But that's what those heavy unvented abominations are. "Commuter style" with the emphasis on the word "style"

There is no cycling helmet, short of a full face shield sperm helmet , where the improvements in that helmet for "performance" are inapplicable and unhelpful for bike commuting

The entire point of a "commuter helmet" is to appeal to retards who are afraid of looking like they actually take comfort and practicality seriously, while misusing the word "practicality" to mean "heavy, slow, and badly designed"

These fuckers are good as cycling specific shoes, the whole base is made of a thick inflexible plastic. And they are cheap if you can find them.

copped the Adidas re-issue, they're not as sleek as the OG gats but the sole is decently cushioned and the lining is warm

however, cycling in white shoes is a bit of a disaster

Eh, they're $40 Bundeswehr surplus trainers made in the 1980s that I only wear for cycling. I'm cool with them getting dirty. It gives them character.

If you don't need clipless basically anything short of leather-soled dress shoes will be just fine. Sperging about the stiffness of your soles strikes me as insane. Your attention would be much more productively focused on the pedals. Put a nice pair of Saints or 5050s on your bike and stop worrying about your shoes.
