I made the leap to clipless pedals. I am picking up my tuned-up bike tomorrow (where there also installed the pedals). I've got the M324 Shiimano equavalent - one side SPD, other side platform. I'm not sure what shoes to get. I've just got a hybrid bike, so I am certainly not a speed demon. I generally stick to roads or bikeways, with perhaps some brief trips on the grass or dirt groomed "trails." Generally, I go 15-20 miles on weekdays and 25-40 miles weekends, with an eventual eye to commuting (8 miles each way). Here are the shoes I am looking at:
SixSixOne Tiburon
Shimano M38 and M21
Lake M101
My price range is no more than $80 + tax or shipping. I want to be able to reasonably walk around, but I also don't want an outersoul that is too spiky - that is, overly like a hiking shoe. A 1 cm tread would be fine. Any suggestions as to which is best? Any others I should try instead. I probably should post this somewhere else, but since the bike itself is kind of recreational in nature, I figured I'd start here.
