Are all 'recreational' cycling shoes worthless?

sidi dominators are fairly robust aren't they? they have a proper sole, not sure if they have cleat-strike though.

For some reason I thought all sidis had cleat-strike? I guess I was wrong.

Also, stiff = winner for me. I can't see it being worth clipless if you're not going to have stiff shoes... Although I have pretty giant feet, so regular pedals would end up hurting my feet (toes actually) unless they were downhill/giant bmx platforms.
