I picked up a ANIB pair of Serfas MTB shoes and a set of Wellgo pedals on eBay. I thought I'd buy cheap to give clipless a try but the set I ended up with I've been very happy with. Serfas would be my first choice if buying another pair due to how comfortable they are now that they are broken in. I notice little flex when pedaling and walking in them are close to regular shoes. The Wellgo pedals are OK over all and considering I got them for $18 shipped new, I'd say great for the price. I bought platform/clipless just in case I didn't want to bother with cleated shoes sometimes but the shoes are so comfortable I don't want to ride at all without them.
