    I don't know what type of riding you do, but for XC, a stiffer sole shoe will be more efficient. I originally started out with platforms and wore my Vans. I switched to a pair of low-cut day-hiker type boots and could feel a real difference in energy transfer.
    Its easier to ask for forgiveness than for permission.

    Depends on what you do... for all my riding except urban stuff (which includes riding to the store for that quart o beer) I am clipless. Crank Bros Egg Beaters or Mallets. Sidi shoes. Otherwise it's platforms and Chuck Taylors for me.
