BTW, the oldsters around here might remember Pete Penseyres winning RAAM in '86, I think it was. He used regular clips and straps with a rubber-soled shoe, the bottom of which had small grooves to provide a touch of security. That's worth bearing in mind, IMO.
Those were Avocet MC 30's. Has a pair for touring now worn out. Have been looking for a pair ever since. The best shoes for clips and straps ever made. Walkable and somewhat stiff soled as well.
