I have an old road bike that has pedals with toe clips.
I want to go clipless, but have never done so before.
From what I have read on the forums, I am thinking about
getting eggbeaters and using MTB shoes, simply because
I've only heard good things about those pedals, and I
prefer the styling and 'walkability' of most MTB shoes.

Has anybody tried this combination on your commuter set-ups?
Which particular eggbeater/ MTB shoe combo would you recommend?
My main concerns are comfort and ease. I couldn't give a d@mn about 'performance'.
