A question for those that use bicycle shoes.
Do any of you use some other brand pedal other than Shimano for touring? Speedplay frogs come to mind. Anything else in a walkable shoe? I recently bought a pair of Look cleat covers I'll start using when on my road bicycle, should protect the cleats but pretty awkward to walk in though. I bought a nice pair of MTB shoes with SPD pedals for the touring bicycle, so far so good. Fairly okay to walk in. Still tweeking the cleats.
My experience with Spd is poor. I bought a cheap pair of road shoes, not a stiff enough sole for me. Too much pressure on the ball of my foot, pain involved. I do have a foot problem to complicate the situation. I switched pedals.
So I'm curious what pedal and shoe you use, and how well it works for you.
