My input follows input is in the Bell curve: The dual use pedals are convenient in idea but in regular use you'll find yourself wanting to install either a full-on platform or clipless pedal after your use pattern settles in.
My shoe preference came from experience with fit and quality. Don't like estimating how a shoe fits after break-in, those that changed from the out of box fit offered that as a clue to their overall longevity. Then I tried a pair of Sidi, they fit out of the box and fit the same way through their service life (duration of which justifies the cost issue). Not C-F inflexible foot casts, they do quite well on foot. Nice to have a piece of gear that is as trustworthy as a good bottom bracket; always there, doing what it's supposed to.
