    Crank brothers mallet pedals would seem to be as close as you'll get but you still need to clip in really, just gives you the option of resting your foot on the platform on any sketchy sections.

    Spd's with a cage or flat section are pretty much useless for riding as you would do with flat pedals, the mechanism always stands proud and will not be comfortable or offer any grip at all

    Flat or SPD, any combo of both is a bad compromise.

    Agreed
