My special, super secret sauce, platform pedal shoes are... uhhh.. hmmm.. (thinking) wait I have it.. oh.. ya.. the shoes on my feet. If they fit my feet and are super comfortable then they are bike shoes too.
I consider myself lucky to enjoy and not miss the connection of clippless or even toe straps. In all honesty there are times I miss clipless .. but so rare as to be meaningless. Not for everyone .. I'm just glad it works for me... riding shoes are costly.
