No worries about damaging the pedals - but you might find it a little harder to keep your feet in place on a clipless pedal. :)

What style of clipless pedals are they? You might be able to pay a visit to your LBS and pick up something like this:http://www.winwoodbikeparts.com/images/PD1150.jpg (http://www.winwoodbikeparts.com/decksters.html)
or this:

They'll also come in handy even after you've gotten your shoes... especially if you just want to tool around town and such in normal shoes.
