I love restrained feet while riding. No slippage and the ability to power around the pedal stroke. That, if I see a car coming and I have to hurry to get out of the way, I can. But I also have knee issues that mean the "float" of most clipless pedals are, for me, a no-no. So I ride either old fashioned toeclips with the equally old slotted cleats or LOOK compltible clipless with the no-float black cleats. I do most of my commuting on toe-clip bikes using cycling shoes a cobbler built the sole up around the cleat so I can walk almost normally and not damage floors or slip. (Love those shoes!)
