OK, I am just confused now. It sounds like you never tried clipless pedals because if you had, I don't think you would make this argument. If the shoe were to break? Not following you. As for the former, clipping in an starting to pedal and clipping in kind of goes together. It becomes second nature. You just do it. And even if not clipped in, you can ride clipless without being clipped in.
