If I am going futher I put on SPD sandals which are as comfortable as a regular sandal.

I used to do this and wasn't very happy with it. Why settle for a pedal that can only awkwardly be ridden in street shoes, when you can get a combo clipless/platform pedal that is very comfortable to use with either clipless or street shoes?
