Regardless, clips and straps without deep racing cleats just don't give me the security I want for anything more than cruising around the flats. I've pretty much settled on Shimano's A520 touring pedal with Pearl Izumi X-Alp mountain bike shoe. The pedal has good retention and looks good on a classic bike, and the shoe looks and walks like a tennis shoe but still offers enough stiffness for on-bike performance.
