advantages and disadvantages of mountain clipless pedals versus the road/racing pedal

[Yuri Budilov]

Hello all

I have a 2004 Trek 1000 road bike with Shimano PD-M540 MTB-
style clipless pedals and Shimano SH-MO38 MTB-style shoes
(the ones you can use for walking).

I have noticed that most "serious" road/racing bicycle
riders use the racing-style clipless pedals and racing-style
shoes (the ones you can *not* walk properly)

Can anyone illuminate me on the advantages and disadvantages
of those racing-style bicycle shoes and clipless pedals as
compared to my MTB-style set-up, when both set-ups are used
on a road/racing bicycle, please?

thank you in advance

Never mind. I found some past discussions on this topic.

thanks!
