Happy New Year, everyone! I have a quick question: do you think it's worth getting special cycling shoes?
I commute every day, go on a couple of longer rides a week (25 miles, and looking to increase the distance so I can go single-speed touring in summer). I'm currently using toe straps rather than clips and wear some old Converse to ride. Would I benefit from changing to clips or buying some different shoes? Or does it make little difference?
Any advice would be gratefully received!
