Oh, I don't use clips or straps. Half the point of using flats is so you can bail off the bike easily when riding anything beyond your pay grade (which for me is basically everything)
I don't think I'd use trainers or hiking boots or anything like that because they usually have uneven outer soles that would sit in awkward places on spikey pedals. I like the soles to be flat so you can position feet where they need to be and not where the shoe wants to sit (because of some groove or what not)

@hippy or anyone else, please tell me about touring / riding long distances (mostly off road) in trainers. I commute on falts but use spds for everything else but am lining up a long tandem tour and was think I might go flats and clips and straps. Trainers would be my nike off road running shoes, weather would be summer but likely some rainy days, I have size 13 boats.
