I'm trying out clipless right now after using toe clips/straps and sometimes cleated road shoes for the past 30+ years. My Campy NR pedals are narrow, so when I don't wear the road shoes, I wear a pair of Avocet mod30 touring shoes.

I haven't gotten use to the clipless yet; they are a pair of Time ATACs that my brother lent me. I have a hard time getting out, particularly the right foot. Reminds me of the first time I rode toe clips/straps with cleated shoes and had them tightened down... with the toe strap ends tucked into the buckles for a neat look. Looked really neat when I fell over after not being able to release them in time .

Since I have had both hips done, I don't need to be falling over, so if I can't get used to the Time pedals, I may pick up a pair of Crank Brothers as I have heard they are easy in and out. I have also heard that the Time's are one of the hardest in and out.
