Vulcs feel a lot better than cup soles IMO, but if you want your shoes to last a bit longer, get a cup sole shoe like NYC 83s or etnies numbers.

"Vulcanization is a chemical process for converting rubber or related polymers into more durable materials via the addition of sulfur or other equivalent "curatives." These additives modify the polymer by forming crosslinks (bridges) between individual polymer chains.[1] Vulcanized material is less sticky and has superior mechanical properties" - Wikipedia. Basically, its a badass glue. Shoes with Vulcanized soles have that thinner feel. If you like to really feel the pedal, then go for a Vulcanized sole. I wear these to the park sometimes, they feel super good for Footjams.
