The best MTBers in our club use clips. I don't and never will. Spikes and stiff soled shoes for me.

I won't go on and on about it for mountain biking, since I"m pretty sure OP was asking for road/casual/commuting purposes.Last edited by Irulan; 07-04-2014 at 01:48 PM.

I think the only ones who would mind you bringing up MTB would be road snobs, and we do not seem to have them on this sight, so I think you are in the clear, Irulan. �� I am considering Speedpay LA's, but with my last clipless endeavor I am still on the fence.
