I used some Carnac touring shoes in Europe last year. They make several
models - I used the 'Carlit' -
http://www.carnac-sport.com/uk/produits/carlit200.cfm. They were the only
shoe I took with me while touring.

Quoted message said:25 years ago or so, there were inexpensive shoes produced that were
essentially canvas sneakers with a stiff insole. I had a pair made by
Cannondale; however, there were other manufacturers at the time.These were generally known as "touring shoes"; that's how Nashbar
listed them in their first catalog. There was no such thing as a
"mountain bike" then unless you built it yourself.They were OK for riding and a person could also walk pretty well in
them. Further, you could wear them as you walked into the office and
everyone didn't turn their face away and snicker... a trait not shared
by much of today's bicycle attire, I'm afraid. Is that product still
on the market anyplace?
