Please hold my foot
Since I have no idea on the recent foot-holding status of this board :
I have a set of Bianchi Celeste green Look-style clipless pedals. They were taken off my bike when I bought it and replaced with some square Primo BMX pedals. The Primos look like *** on the bike, but rides fine.
Problem is - they are great for the fact that I only own one pair of shoes, and that's a pair of Caterpillar steel-toed work boots. I don't feel comfortable walking/biking/sitting/anything without a large amount of ankle support and tall sidewalls. I think a shoe should end 3-5 inches above your ankle.
Are there any shoes out there that feel like boots, but can clip into pedals?

There are two shoes/boots at Performance https://www.performancebike.com/
(Sorry I haven't figured out how to do links) First is the Sidi Storm 2. Second is the Carnac Brisbane Shoes.

Thanks for the suggestions, but none really help. The pedals are designed for road, and I guess they won't work for anything else. I took the pedals and the cleats that came with them to 2 different LBSs and they both said that the only way they would work is with a 3-hole system.
Pretty much these purdy pedals will end up being put in a box in case I ever sell the bike (REALLY doubtfull) I was mainly hoping there was a shop with burly shoes that would fit these pedals, but I don't think such a thing exists...
Oh well.
