So I made the drive down to Peloton today and picked up a pair of CrankBrothers Eggbeater SL pedals and a pair of around-town shoes. At first, though I liked a lot of the features of the pedals, I wasn't too impressed with some aspects when I used them with my road shoes. When I tried them with the new shoes, however, all of those problems disappeared. Reading some, it looks like there are different cleats you can get to use with road shoes so that you don't have any of those problems. I'll see how they are in a month, but right now, they get an A (no +, since it'd be great if they worked just straight up with my road shoes). The shoes are nice, too, though nothing too special. A little tight now, but I'm sure the padding will break in nicely.
I'll be heading down to the shop again this weekend, maybe, to look into a few other little purchases
