Shoes and cleats

before you use them you may want to swap them for some mtb shoes, as road shoe cleats are always exposed, making walking rather difficult, but mtb shoes have recessed cleats making it easier to walk.

Too late! I have been using them with my toe-slips - and they are great for getting in and out as trainers tend to get stuck with their rubbery soles ...
Mind you, have also cycled locally with clogs which do present a toe clip challenge as they are quite bulky ...
