Thanks, eippo1. I will definitely go and try on some shoes. Are any of you fans of the dual platform pedals like the Shimano PD-1530? The other threads have mixed reviews, but mostly positive. My wife likes to ride her urban bike down by the beach and it would be nice to accompany her in regular shoes (using the platform side of the pedal). Maybe this is a good transition pedal for someone just getting into the clipless system?
