I'm using lower-end stuff. For pedals, using the Shimano PD-A520 road touring pedals. For shoes, Shimano SH-M121B, basically a MTB-type shoe. Got them from my LBS who recommended this pairing based on my preference for being able to walk around properly when dismounted and my budget.

Trolling Ebay will get you good bargains I am positive about this. It will require a little patience and time too. I've bought certain bike parts that were absolute bargains off Ebay
