You need to get some edification if you don't recognize "clipless" as the common bicycle vernacular for a pedal + cleat system that mechanically locks the shoe to the pedal yet allows for simple (heel-turn) release.
As I said, (above) I've been riding Shimano SPD pedals and compatible shoes for 20 years. They've never been an issue- either in normal riding or in emergency stops or in crashes.
