Is it worth buying specialist cycling shoes?

Slighty related.

The SBS system found on Northwave shoes is adjustable while riding fixed, as there is a button to loosen the strap one tooth, and a lever to tighten one tooth. I find this really handy. Carry on :)

Sound cool.

Still, you might as well ride SPD or time if you're going to have 'special' (read: special needs) shoes: I rode, and still ride on a couple of bikes, clips and straps a lot so I can wear half decent trainers on the bike* and* at work, rather than having to change shoes. Not that I know what the SBS northwave is like. It *sounds *hideous though.
