Road shoes and road pedals. The feel in the good road shoes is so much different - direct transfer of power to the pedal; snag, and light feel. The pedals are lighter are more streamlined. Try them before you buy them - shoes. Pedals is a matter of personal commitment\attachment (IMHO) to 3 or so major players or being unique and picking the 4th, 5th or so. With shoes unfortunately the more $$ is often the more but you can find the deals.
