Hey guys, got a question about cycling shoes.
i currently have some shoes that take 'look' cleats. they are ok, useless when running and i'll never be confident enough to do the elastic band thing. I also get cramp in my right toes which i think is caused by my right foot being a little wider than my left foot (i get this while running too so i'll need to look at that for next year).
anyway in thinking about changing my shoes i was thinking about getting the type that take SPD clips. these tend to have more of a tread, are a bit more flexible and hopefully will be a bit more comfy.
I hear that the 'look' type ones are more efficient at transferring the power than SPD's which i accept but how much difference will it really make??
has anybody used both???

They're actually really good and you can pretty much do a full sprint to the mounting line as soon as they're on.
Do what works for you.
If it makes you feel better my last Olympic I had to use £3 BMX pedals because I forgot my cycling shoes. Still passed a few TT bikes.
