handy shoes ?
After making the change from mountain bike style/tour shoes to Keo cleats I am overall very happy with the benefits of the much stiffer carbon sole.
but...
I used to like to have a walk about at my destination town.
Cleat covers are not enough in this instance.
So... I have been looking for ultra lightweight shoes that I could change into.. I don't know if a cyclist speciffic shoes is actually out there ? Nearest thing that seems to fint the bill are Trampoline shoes or Beach 'skin shoes'... The former I can't find in UK size 11 ... Also Timberland make a folding shoe that zips closed intended for back packers (but its far too heavy)
I guess what im looking for is a cloth shoe with a light mesh upper.. Some rubber on the ball and ankle... something that could be rolled up and stuffed in a spare bottle cage ?
Maybe you all use flip flops ?
Where should I be looking 
cheers !

I vote for Chaco sandals. They are not ultra-light nor are they cycling specific, but they are great for walking around in. I will leave it up to you as to whether or not you wear your socks with them.
stares at blank post!
