Had Shimano dual platform/SPD pedals (A530 I think) on my first tour, with two pairs of shoes. The starting and stopping nature of the ride meant that I ended up using my running shoes and the platform more often.
Will use Wellgo platform pedals (similar to Nashbar) for my upcoming tour. Wellgos have done well for me in the past - I use them on my mtn bike, commuter, trials bike, etc.
As far as shoes are concerned, does anyone tour with cross-training shoes? A little stiffer and more rugged than regular running shoes. Wondering if these characteristics will limit me in any way as far as pedaling is concerned.
