I chose to use toe clips and straps on my last major tour. They work fine esp. for touring.

Don't get me wrong. I used toe clips and straps back in the day and switched to clipless once it came out. Most of my bikes have clipless pledals.

But touring is about your mind frame as much as it is about an athletic event. Having comfortable shoes to kick around in isn't a bad thing. Nothing wrong with clipless shoes in terms of comfort but I prefer my hiking shoes.
