Lake LXSDL Cycling sandals are great for commuting in hot/wet/rainy weather since they are dry by the time I have to ride home in the afternoon. Aren't quite as snug as a full shoe but they still work well.
I ride with street shoes sometimes so both sides of the m324's get used. One drawback, besides the weight, is that the cage can catch on the ground in highspeed turns a lot more than a normal clipless pedal. I did a crit with these and had to to some creative leaning to keep from wiping.

These:
were partly responsible for this:
The huge float, in combination with no positive feedback that you're about to unclip, let me develop sloppy form that contributed to that crash. The sloppy springs on the cheapo chromo versions didn't help either.
Basically, I was standing on the pedals trying to accelerate, and my right foot unclipped at full power stroke. I woke up somewhat later (30 seconds or so) and could barely move. Eight weeks later, I finally got back to work after I could take off the full-torso brace and walk without assistance.
I have the SL version on my mountain bike (and they're fantastic there) but I'll never again use them on fixed.
