i've had my feet caught up in spokes a few times, wearing skate shoes, which i suppose are mid-ground in the shoe-safety heirarchy. i reckon they're at least as dangerous as exposed chainrings and would be happier if covers were mandatory, but i know lots of people use their polo bike as their commuting/pub bike, so i don't really expect this to happen.
does anyone know of stiff-soled shoes (stops the shoe and hence your foot inside from bending) with moderate toe protection? i'm not quite ready to join will from cambridge by getting my site boots out of the loft...
all the touring/spd style shoes i can think of have lightweight uppers...
