You're right: SPD sandals are no porn. Certainly not when combined with socks.
But they can be very convenient during summer holidays. I used to have 2 pairs, but I seriously regret that I dumped them. If you can bring just one bike and you go out with the family (beach, town, terrasse, restaurant), SPD sandals are the best alternative. Sneakers, racing shoes, MTB shoes are all shit then.
Once I was passed by an old gentleman on a climb in a road event (cyclosportif). I was in full race gear incl bike. He was on a race bike and was wearing SPD sandals.
Not good for my "moral".
Since then I know better than ever: it's all about the legs...
