What he says is true for SPD cleats, but I have found that the other
types of mountain cleats I have tried do not recess into MTB shoes as
well, so the advantage over road shoes is greatly diminished. You have
SPD pedals, so you will need SPD cleats and MTB or touring shoes if you
plan to keep these pedals. Personally, I think my road cleats and pedals
feel better than any of my MTB pedal/cleat combos. I'm not sure it is
rational, but it just seems the lower stack height and bigger cleat
contact area give a more positive feel. Yes road cleats suck to walk on,
but there is some token effort to make it possible when necessary. Be
advised that clipless pedals have a learning curve and you may fall
damaging yourself and your bike before you become proficient with them.

Thanks for the inputs. Any suggestions on learning to use clipless
pedals? Or do I just do it for a while and it comes with time?
