Hi, everyone!
Hi there,
So Im just as new as you are im sure- but I just thought Id let you know that as a commuter I am using my first pair of mountain bike shoes (just some shimanos that were on sale at my REI) and the WTB pedals that came with my Pista.
As for shoes- it seems go with what fits your feet and what fits your goals- Im a commuter- and need shoes to walk around in, and didnt need anything fancy for now. If you are just training- keep your road shoes and just get a second pair of the same pedals you use on your road bike- so you dont have to change cleats.
I have a lot more experience with road shoes and pedals but for my commute I really like the mountain bike shoes and the WTB are working just fine- nothing special really. "read as- perfect for me- cheap and they get the job done"
Probably not very helpful, and all stuff you know, but I thought Id try to get this going.

You may find that there are oportunities to try different pedal systems by riding fellow riders bikes.
Otherwise it is realy a very persoal and ergonomic choice that is very open to personal desire/need/want and requirement.
I've been a look person since 1986. However I tried a look alike (Welgo) and had knee problems when riding with them. So I went back to Look, but upgraded to a shalow profile KEO "Sprint" pedal and couldn't be happier.
One of the most often asked questions with my fellow club riders when they get new bikes, is just like yours, and it doesn't seem to matter how many pedal systems they have tried, everyone is still looking to find the ultimate system for them.
