I am surprised what you can get for £50

Even if you don't buy clipless pedals at the very least get a pair of bike specific shoes - I've had mates you've torn the muscles in the arch of their feet from riding in trainers and by all accounts it fecking hurts!

If you want to ride in trainer style shoes try somethng like 661, if you want to then have a go with clipless you can fit the cleats to them as well, have a look here.....

I use flats with Adidas Berm shoes, and haven't looked back after having the same problem as you from wearing my old school Vans, as well as wrapping the laces around the pedal axles!

Thanks for all the advice. Taking on what has been said I have just purchased these

That way if I try clipless and don't like I will still have some bike specific shoes with a rigid sole I can use with my normal pedals.

Hopefully my feet problems will be solved.

I bought a similar shoe made by the same company and they are really comfortable - good choice, hope you enjoy them!

in france shimano do a deal that if you buy a pair of shimano shoes , they give you a free pair of SPD .
