They are also pretty good looking... I have a set fitted to my P20 which has also been serving as my tow vehicle for a long time.
My left foot has to be clipped in and the right does more of the heavy lifting... I also use multi directional cleats on all my spd shoes.
As far as shoes go, a friend (who owns a shoe store) gave me a set of Keen Springwater 2 mtb shoes which was timely since my touring / day to day shoes are looking pretty worn.
Might be the most comfortable cycling shoe I have ever worn and has a neutral heel which helps my back and hip when I am standing and walking.
