Does anyone here routinely go cycling in ordinary trainers like Chucks? I tried with mine (knock-offs) and I don't think it was good for them, felt like they were bending downwards at the back of the pedal and I think I could see a faint line across the soles afterwards.
My pedals are for some reason metal and sort of spiky, maybe like, those old style rubber platform types would be less aggressive on my poor casual trainers?
@i_cannot_today@cycling I've never thought about what shoes I wear when cycling, granted I mostly just use the bike to get around town. My longest ride was probably about 40 miles.
@i_cannot_today Then just go with the pedals alone, assuming you are not doing crazy distances, you should be ok.
My view may be skewed, because I’m not touching a bicycle without those clip in shoes and I do have plank-stiff soles. The advantage of stiff soles is your feet muscles don’t have to do that much work.
I’m definitely on the other side of the spectrum, though. I dress for the ride, because the ride is my destination, so to speak..🙈
