+1. This is what I have on both my bikes. For any actual ride of over, say 4 or 5 miles, I always use the clipless side. But, it is convenient to have the platforms for really short rides.

There is a reason people use clipless now rather than toeclips or platforms for road bikes. Safer, more efficient. I would recommend starting with mountain biking shoes with recessed cleats. While you wouldn't want to run a marathon in them, they don't look much different, and they aren't any less comfortable than a pair of tennis shoes. Actually, my sister in law saw me wearing mine when we went on a bike ride when she was visiting and she liked how they looked, said she might buy a pair for her husband (until I told her they are really just for biking).

Alternately, I believe there is a platform you can buy that will clip into a clipless pedal for occasional riding without cycling shoes. That might be a stop gap, and solve the problem of what to do when you don't want to wear cycling shoes.
