Then do yourself a favor and read truman's recommendations over and over and over again. It’s no fun coming to a stop in traffic and not being able to (or knowing how to) unclip; I’ve been there, it's no fun!
Edit.
Also, when trying on shoes try them on while your feet a warm and have expanded, don't get a pair that fit too snug. I developed hot-foot from my first pair of riding shoes because there were too snug after my feet swelled from riding.
