Hello,

I had recently made a big decision and bought a FELT VR5. The bike will be ready for me by 5/15.

Now that I'm totally excited for it, I'm not sure what kind of pedals and shoes should I go for it.

Until now, I have used only flat pedals so I normally use my casual shoes to ride.

But with this new bike, Im planning to try out clipless pedals and cycling shoes.

Any recommendations on which type of pedals I should go for and shoes? The LBS guy was saying that I should go for the MTB type pedals instead of road type ones and mentioned that will have the same pedaling efficiency but road type make any walks uncomfortable.

Since this bike will be used mostly for commuting purposes and some weekend rides, I'm not sure which one to go for as Im totally new to this.

Thank You!
