Amen. Dual-sided clipless mtb pedals and spd cleats. Have 3 pairs of shoes all purchased during my early clipless phase and they're all over 10 years old and still usable. Specialized Sport, Cannondale tourers, Specialized Mtb ankle high lace-ups, Nashbar Mtbs, Diadora road shoes, Lake winter road shoes. Like the looks of those Shimanos on Yan's post, though.
My wife has some Diadora Saturns and Lake touring shoes she's real happy with. We're going to get her a pair of straight road shoes next.
