I've owned several different kinds of clipless and several pairs of shoes, and I changed to flats with pins.

There's just really no advantage to using clipless (I'm not racing where the additional foot retention would be useful in an all out sprint) and a lot of annoyances and drawbacks.

It's really nice to not have to change shoes or have issues walking on some floors. I ride, get off the bike, walk whereever I want, don't worry about it. Flats are more comfortable for my foot. Most of the "advantages" of clipless are disproven myths, like the idea that you can pull up and gain power on the flat isn't true, they tested it out on pros
