Perfect answer, exactly what I was looking for, thank you.
Looks like I'll upgrade from my lower level Sidi MTB shoe to a higher level MTB shoe. After posting my question I really paid attention to how often and for how long I sometimes go before I can safely clip in, and it would definitely be an issue for where and how I ride. Thanks for the input.
