I commute by bike everyday to work. My old winter bike shoes are absolutely stiff clip-in plastic lead weights and I could not see myself riding in them anymore since going barefoot. I switched out my clip-in peddles for flat peddles, took a leap of faith and started wearing my water shoes on my bike commutes.
I have been surprised how well it works with a good pair of winter socks and on the extremely cold days I add one more pair of socks and plastic bread bags to cut the wind.
My new peddles. I have taken out the pegs. http://www.mec.ca/Products/product_detail.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=845524442630767&FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=2534374302693563

Anyone else had it with stiff binding bike shoes.
Just before the bad weather hit I managed to get a few barefoot rides in and throughly enjoyed feeling the wind on my toes.
