I've been commuting on a pair of Crank Brothers Eggbeaters II for about 9 months and am really happy with them. Super easy to clip in and out of and I understand they can be rebuilt if the bearings start to go bad on them. All replies have been spot on though - mountain bike shoes with the two hole SPD cleat are the ticket for being able to walk around more or less normally.
