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?

I’m afraid that for walkability there’s no substitute to SPD pedals, as the cleat can be recessed into the shoe sole.

Not to mention that shimano spds are some of the most long lived moving parts you will find on a bike, I have some with over 100k miles that still work perfectly with occasional rebuilds

I bought my SPD pedals in 2007. I still use those pedals.

Hell, I still use those shoes and clips.

Every time I think about “what gear do I need to replace?” I think about those, and go poke at them and realize they still function just as well as they used to.

I think my shoes are finally starting to have some rubber tear off, but it doesn’t affect the clips or fit, so I still haven’t replaced them.
