Dave,

I am guilty of that "sin" on a regular basis. I have a difficult time finding shoes to fit my tiny, stubby, wide, thick feet. The toestraps also kill me on long rides. I ride with clipless most of the time and put the proper pedals on for the show.

We're a friendly bunch; none of us are that judgmental. Nothing to fear, we just want your company.
