What shoes do people use? I got some oldish Castelli road shoes with cleats - they look the business, but riding in them is petrifying and painful (they make my ankles hit the cranks quite often) and the soles are like glass so just removing the cleats not really an option. Not everybody in the pictures seems to be wearing period correct cycling shoes!
just get some normal leather cycling shoes with no cleats, you can walk if you want to (but no reason why you should) and they are fairly comfortable to wear all day long
