Give them a try and see what you think
Personally I find stuff like SPD's, clips and straps, lycra, spandex and padded crotches to be somewhat overrated.
YMMV,

I find it all overrated too.
And at least one rider here has done a fully loaded for camping short tour at 80+ miles/day wearing no shoes, on Ergon PC2 platforms.
I was wearing lycra in this shot of that short tour, but the first two days I was wearing cargo shorts. Just brought the cheap bike shorts for a change after my cargos got sweaty over the first couple days. Wish I could find another set of cargo shorts like the one I have (not too baggy and with elastic cords around waist and leg to cinch it snug if desired) but so far have not been able to find another pair like them.
