I'm a beginner, and bought my bike with regular platform pedals because I want to get comfortable and feel competent on my bike before transitioning to clipless.
My question is this...I bought a pair of Pearl Izumi shoes for clipless pedals, because they were on clearance and I got a great deal on them. I want to know if there's any harm in wearing them while riding with the platform pedals. I'm not sure if there's a breaking in period with them (they're way comfortable so I just can't tell) that makes it a good idea to just get used to them starting now, or if the platform pedals could damage them in some way.
Just checkin' before I blow my new deal!! Thanks in advance for any thots..
