TIME.
Buy time. Time pedals that is.
They have the best retention when set to "hardcore mode" for skidding. If when you skid your lead foot twists out abit (fairly normal), they you need hardcore mode to keep your lead foot from unclipping and kicking the handlebars, causing you to run into children and unicorns, neither of which like being run over.
So in summary, buy time pedals, aliums are fine. Seals are poorer than on other time pedals but they are cheap, so they are fine. In terms of shoes get any MTB show that is comfortable, and buy the most expensive shoe you can afford (within reason) as they will tend to be more comfortable and better wearing, and the unicorns like them.
So buy time.
Get it?
