I wouldn't go back for love or money. I find clipless pedals/cleats to
be much more comfortable. I also sometimes walk, and walking with
slotted cleats (they were metal, back in the day, not plastic) was very
awkward and slippery on many surfaces. Mountain-bike style clipless
pedals (mine are Speedplay Frogs) allow you to walk without walking like
a duck, and without damaging floors.
