I can walk normally with my bike shoes - Shimano Touring MT-30 - just as if they were a pair of Nikes or whatever.


If you can slide your foot right out, you're using it wrong ...
The straps on the toe clip need to be rather tight to be effective.

The SPD cleat just needs a slight twist to the side in order to release.
its all relative to how much riding you do and have done.
I use, and have used, the toe clips most of my life even competing. if your used to it, you can get your feet out of those clips every bit as quickly as the SPD system and even quicker in some instances. the trick is to have them adjusted just right.
