Dump the clipless fad and get real pedals that don't require bike-specific shoes.
How perfectly retro-grouch and elitist of you.
Clipless has come a long way since the first Look and Time (not to mention the scad of others) systems of the late '80s. I used to ride toestraps and clips and then I discovered SPDs. For efficiency and safety for riding in traffic the SPDs can't be beat.
