Proprietary shoes suck.
Have you actually tried them? Assuming you get a decent pair of shoes, it really isn't that big of a deal. I walk around the grocery store in my MT40's all day long. I've even worn them at work for 9 hours and I hardly ever get to sit down.
FWIW, I used to agree with you on clipless shoes until I actually went balls out and tried them.
