So I'm thinking screw it. It might look a bit weird, to be rocking deep wheels and lycra with runners and toeclips, but I'm starting to think I'd be a lot happier to just give up on clipless.

Been a long time since anyone did a sexy toeclip pedal... Shimano's efforts haven't been bettered in thirty years. Making a pair from carbon might be a cool project...
