Sorry I missed your post! It's looking more and more like this is what I'll go with. Someone said Vans look beefy but their soles are pretty thin actually.

I tried on a pair of regular adidas sambas at the adidas outlet store this weekend, and I did not like the giant tongue - it was unwieldy and uncomfortable. Otherwise they'd be pretty awesome I think.
I've got tow cages on my bike and I find that best for my commute considering how much stopping I do and car-tangling. I don't want to have to worry about unclipping - its much easier to yank my foot out of a cage.
