I've been offered a new set of Exustar road shoes and pedals at a great price, so want to give this clipless thing a try. I can have either 'look' style or 'spd' style pedals and i nearly went for the road-based look ones (because of the longer distances i've started doing). But after doing a bit of research on here, it seems that any amount of walking destroys these cleats and i have a 100 meter walk over a railway bridge everyday on my commute. So do the spd cleats wear any better when walked on? It's a good deal, but not if i'm going to have to normal pedals again in a months time cos i've worn the shoes or cleats out.
It seems the best thing is an mtb shoe with recessed cleat, but they are not on offer.
