Although I usually recommend a clipless system, I think with your limitations this is your best best. Buy a good shoe (the Five Ten mentioned above is exactly what I mean) that is meant for the pedal and you should have no problem. A number of my friends use these pedals with good result. One of my friends is scheduled for knee replacement and this is the only system that works for her.
