I have the same and once adjusted correctly and gotten used to are very easy to use, even in traffic. Most of the shoes themselves are pretty difficult to walk in as they are impossibly stiff and hard soled, so you would do well to bring along another pair of shoes to change in to at work or other stops. The mountain bike shoes are easier as they have lugs on the sole to make the cleats themselves recessed but they too can be slippery on wood, tile or smooth concrete. I have seen some street looking shoes that have recessed spaces for cleats but have yet to find anyplace that sells them in my size or at an affordable price.
