hi all, another newbie question sorry!
looking at buysing some shoes and clipless pedals - now im not scared of using the clipless, just that cycling in london traffic during rush hour really makes me want to still have the platform option for those trickey times, so i've considered these:

not the sexiest i admit, nor the most upto date in-thing peice of kit but seems versatile for the commute and the 70 mile ride on a weekend.
any thoughts?
also, is there a noticable difference from road cycling shoes to triathlon cycling shoes?
i can get a pair of these very cheap:

i like the idea of a bit of extra ventilation (to be honest probably wont be wearing them in the winter when its wet). will the fit be a bit looser?
thoughts appreciated as always..

What about these? I've had a pair for 2 years and they still work fine.

Hi Gav
What cleats do they use ( could they be used with shimano ones ) ?0 -
I use Shimano A530 SPD's on my road bike. I can either wear trainers or I have a pair of Shimano RT51 touring shoes with the cleat attached. Best of both worlds for my purpose.
