my go-to is birkenstock - good support, especially for my high arches, and the right amount of stiffness. the standard foam outsoles can get torn up by pedals relatively quickly (though they still function fine), but they grip pretty well. but if rain and/or walking/hiking are part of the

So for years my go to shoes for rambling around with platform pedals have been Vans or Sambas. I've used some other shoes from time to time--Five Ten Ascents and the Patagonia Bagley. The Ascents have been my favorite but they've gone out of production. I generally use the VP Thin Gripsters or
