Cycling is sort of an evolution in itself. You go through several seasons refining what you like or dislike and you make changes accordingly. There's no pressure in the decisions you have to make today. It may not be on the radar by next season.

As for the BMX pedals and shoes--none of my soles have been affected by the pins on the pedals--whether it's cycling shoes or Keen sandals. If you want really super sticky soles that self heal so to speak, 5.10 shoes paired with BMX pedals are great together.
