I picked Shimano SPD pedals and Shimano mtb. shoes. I can walk around in them if I need to but still have plenty of holding power on the cleats.

Look pedals and cleats. Had Sidi Genius until the heal broke - only lasted 20+ years. Most comfortable and secure shoe I've ever tried. Have a cheap pair of Pearl Izumi with triple Velcro straps until I break down for a real pair of shoes. I never come off the pedals or out of a shoe.

I run eggbeater SLs with either Cannondale Roam shoes (mountain) or Diadora Bike patrol shoes, never had an unclip error/problem once, skidding/skipping/whatever, never happened. I wear these types of shoe because they're work/office friendly meaning I don't have to dick about with transporting even more clothing with me.

So I decided to head over to REI to try on some Sidi shoes. Ended up getting the Sidi Bullet 2. Took em for a 7mile ride around campus.
I liked it, didn't have problems getting out of the clips, getting it took some time to get down, still need practice.
The problem I encountered was that the soles of my feet KILLED. I have had the same problems in snowboard boots.
What gives?

Sorry but, on a semi related topic-
I'm considering clips too and i'm wondering how well the cleats hold up? or do they ever fail? seems like if you ran brake less you'd die it one of those broke free from your foot

cleats don't fail too often. most cleats have markers to let you know when they are becoming worn. As a matter of fact I have only heard of them failing a few times and those are usually on climbs out of the saddle. and they are also rumors. Also if you get a pedal like a Shimano SL or Look/Keo they have a platform so if they do fail and you are still up right you could still keep you foot firmly on the pedal. im thinking about doing these:
and these
decent sole for walking at bars and still good cliping in. only problem is im not sure if the Sidi MTB shoe will take the road cleat. if not I may have to try a different pedal.

Are the Dominators worth the extra cash? Is it also useful since they have replaceable cleats?
I think I'm liking my Sidi Bullet 2..

Another +1 million for SPD SL pedals and Sidi shoes. Using genius 5s here, most comfertable shoe I own btw as well xcept my fuzzy in-house slipper thingies.
I own a full MKS + toshi single strap setup (which is great) that I NEVER use ne more. If I am not going on a road ride, these days I ride my KHS flite100 with shin burger platforms, riserz and no breaks. Its fun to go slow and be dumb when Im not tearin up the road.
