i've worn my recessed-cleat SPD shoes in all kinds of places. on trains and planes, in stores, through museums, across towns, along trails, etc.
i've never slipped in them and no one has ever had a single word with me about them, even on our 900 mile bike tour across
great britain.
they look like conventional shoes, not cycling shoes, so other than some slight crunching on rough concrete, no one would ever know the difference.

this is the most common complaint i hear from others about combo pedals, but after riding nearly everyday with them for the past 11 years, that simply isn't an issue for me. somehow my foot just "knows" how to find the correct side of the pedal. it probably helps that i exclusively use the same model of combo pedal (forte campus) on all of my bikes, so i've got that consistency going for me.... which is nice.
