I've been using MTB clips and shoes on my bikes for 6 years. I even race triathlon with them. I value the ability to be able to walk without killing myself.

I love my spd shimano shoes and keene sandals. I do a lot of cross country distance road riding and I value the ability to walk around a bit without difficulty as I go into the gas stations and or cafes.

I have always used Shimano SPDs on my road bike because I like being able to walk comfortably in them when off the bike.

Mountain bike cleats/shoes are great for road riding - it is very nice to be able to walk. I didn't care for SPD cleats/pedals myself, but I use Speedplay Frogs which work well for me - they are a mountain bike cleat that is larger and even easier to get in and out of than SPD - at least for me.

I use the SPDs on my road bikes. I did upgrade to the A520 type of pedals (actually, a couple of different brand ones) and the Specialized BG footbeds to get rid of 'hot foot' issues I was having. This set up works great for me, hope it does for you too!!
Enjoy,

I got the Shimano M540 SPD. I went for a morning ride and was pleasantly surprised. Knock on some wood… I didn’t fall, but was very conscious of stopping and starting. I did notice that one shoe was awful tight; when I checked the sizes I found I had two different shoe sizes.
