Since when is 100 dollars not a lot of money
But I started with mountain SPD's with Shimano shoes because I felt like I could get out of them easier which is helpful when you first start. Then I went to Ultegra pedals and Specialized shoes but I didn't like those so I went to Shimano shoes with speedplay pedals. I like the speedplays now but at first I felt like my feet were pretty loose.
