For touring, I still like platforms. I'm touristing/adventuring as much as cycling, it is nice to be able to walk around a marble floor museum or cobblestone sidewalk without clicking every step, which my SPD shoes still do. Then again, I'm more of a use what I find a deal on type of person, the bike being built is likely getting a set of dual-sided M324, if I don't toss the flats from my fat bike on for my next tour.

I really like those, the best of both worlds. If they weren't so pricey, I think they'd go on all the everyday rides I own.
