I had used toe clips for the past 15-20 years. Just last year, I got a pair of old Look Delta road pedals and got shoes and cleats to go with them. The improvement from toe clips to clipless was amazing. No looking back.

Since then, I have got myself a pair of Shimano SPD pedals for my short rides bike. The shoes have recessed cleats. Therefore, I can walk conveniently in these shoes. No need for an extra set of shoes for walking.
