For me the magic formula has turned out to be the Keen Coronado Cruiser (that's the bike specific version) for summer and warm weather and I have just discovered the North Face Snow Sneaker II for cold and wet weather riding. There's obviously no snow in the Bay Area, but when I start my 16 mile morning commute at 6:30 am it's around 35 and me feet get otherwise very cold! http://www.rei.com/product/804444
They are very comfortable and soft to walk in but stay very well hooked to the sneaker pedals as the sole is full of little geometric shapes.
