Thanks in advance.
Why not just get a two or four-sided pedal like Crank Bros Candy and try clipless? No flipping involved.

As mtn shoes these have a pretty aggressive tread and I could never get cages to work, always gettting the tread caught on the pedal. I personally find Candies/Eggbeaters a heck've a lot easier and less scary than cages.
