If you go clipless, get Mountain bike pedals and shoes, such as SPDs or eggbeaters. These are better because on mountain shoes the cleats are recessed in the tread on the bottom of the shoe so when you walk the cleats don't touch the ground.
X2 ... I ride with clipless ****mano SPD and shoes. Most comfortable shoe that I own, bike or not
Also, the MTB SPD shoe helps you going up the stairs ... go figure.
Regarding clipping and unclipping on a fixed at high speeds .... its a matter of practice. I do it at MAD speeds, but i started doing it slow at first.
Did I mention that I love my front brake?
