No clipless shoes for me -- so what is best to use?

Two years ago, I fell with the bike while wearing the clipless bike shoes and broke my elbow.
So now I won't wear the clipless shoes except for spin classes. And even in the spin classes I find it difficult to clip in and out of the pedals. So what kind of shoes do I use/buy now? I have some Specialized shoes that I bought and didn't put the clips in, but after while my left foot toes hurt terribly (arthritis kicks in) so I really do need to get something before I ride in the MS150! I have never had any pain problems with the clipless shoes I wear to spinning classes -- they don't seem to trigger the arthritis problem.

Please help! Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. I wish I weren't so scared of the clipless shoes -- I heard you can get about 2 mph extra with them.
