I ride the shimano A530's and the DH has the 520. I like the 530's, sometimes I will clip out and flip my pedal and ride a ways unclipped. I also like never having to think about what shoes I have on. With my tendon issues,having the option has sure been nice.

I'm chicken with clipless so I use the Shimano click r's. I like them because they are good for commuting with reflectors built in. They are not too bad to use as platform pedals in a pinch too.
Shoes wise, I have a pair of pearl izumi shoes that I love - so comfy to walk in off the bike https://shop.pearlizumi.com/product....color_code=223

M545s would fit the bill: SPDs with a bit of a platform. I have them on my CX bike. They're kind of hard to find, though.

At least I don't leave slime trails.

Saving for the next one...
I have the 520's on both my hybrid and road bike. Works fine for me. Although I have both road shoes and mountain bike shoes, I like that I can use my MTB shoes on both bikes...especially if I think I'm going to be walking up a hill that day.![]()
