Was thinking of getting a pair of those Shimano sandals for the summer and some of the more normal looking mountain shoes for when it cools off.
no accidental unclipping while skidding with my strong leg. although, i've been trying to skip more w/ my weak leg, and it's mostly a matter of form and technique, but i've unclipped while trying to get that down.
this might not pertain to some, but a point of contention i've had is eggbeater's roll-clip-in "feature" (move foot across pedal, cleat catches spindle, click in - makes it easier). since i have toe-overlap, i usually unclip at low speeds or during a trackstand. and i've clipped-in by accident a few times. and that's no fun when you've already signaled to your body that it's time to put a foot down.
because of this, i've been thinking of going back to clips/straps or trying out those shimano spds w/ one side that has a platform.
