You could go that route and it would leave your options open if you later decide to go back and/or find shoes that work.
Yeah, something studded/pinned is what I'm looking for. I had seen the wam-d10 on here recently, but I don't want the annoyance of flipping to the right side to clip in. I'd rather just change pedals before the ride.
