I have to agree with Ed. Toes straps are only the first step. A good set of 
cycling shoes is a neccessity to keep from putting too much strain on the
wrong part of your foot. I, however, don't like cleats. I've always used the
Bata 'Biker' shoe. It is a lot like a tennis shoe with a steel insert so that
your foot spreads the force out equally. It doesn't use a cleat, is comfortable
to walk in, is relatively inexpensive, and works fine unless you are a gung
ho super racer. I used to use them instead of tennis shoes -- when they 
wore out beyond their riding days, they'd become my walking shoes. Try that
with cleats.

Half asleep I hear a voice; is it only in my mind?
Or is it someone calling me, someone I failed and left behind?
