>>1642920If you read his original post from the last thread (
>>1641088) you'll know he's asking for mtb shoe recommendations. I'm not sure why he brought up SPD-SL, but he was originally asking about mtb shoes.
>>1642688For mtb clipless I would recommend Shimano XC 3, 5, or 7 for everyday riding, depending on your budget. I've heard good things about Giro Privateer and Specialized Recon as well. Just remember to try them on in person, cycling shoes can be a bit narrower than most sneakers. Used market is full of cheap SPD pedals for you to try. If you decide clipless isn't for you, you won't lose as much, but if you decide you like it you can get some nicer pedals.
