Not wanting to hijack this thread, but my question could pertain to the OP at some point..I bought (yesterday) a pair of Specialized shoes from my LBS yesterday and will be returning them because the velcro straps make getting in and out of the pedals (Campy SR) a real pain. I am not sure what to do - I can use my street shoes for now but I'd like to know are there any decent lace-up cycling shoes out there? Ideally I'd like to use them without cleats at first and add cleats later. I'd like to stay with the clips for now...any suggestions?
