I tried clipless -absolutely hated it - and went back to toe cages.

I figure that I am a 55 year old purely recreational rider that does a century ride once a season. All my other rides are 50 miles or under.

I bike in my wonderfully comfortable sneakers and I am as happy as a clam.

I ride 3 to 4 times a week and never have pain in my feet.

As the saying goes, "To each her own."
