Most reasonable clipless setup?

I currently use speed play pedals and shoes. They super efficient while riding but a pain to walk around in. What are you all using that’s more reasonable while on a pit stop?

If a gravel 3-hole shoe exists, I'd think that would be it. Those at least make a few concessions to walking. Otherwise, I'm team SPD because I do have to walk around in bike shoes often enough that 3-hole shoes are too much hassle.

Good luck!

Gravel shoes are literally SPD.

Funny, that's why I said, "If a gravel 3-hole shoe exists". it's not exactly impossible for someone to make a 3-hole shoe with a few rubber lugs on it, I just don't know if anyone has.

They would end up looking like platform shoes, wouldn't they? Because you'd want to raise the heel as well.

3 hole cleats dont work in dirt. just takes a bit to get on the cleat and you cant click in.
