The merits of SPD SL's over SPD's
I'm thinking of getting some new shoes as my current shoes are showing their age. But what to get? Do I stay with my SPD' s or go with "proper" road pedals, my son has given me some Look road pedal so it's only the shoes I need to think about.
So the question I have is what advantage do 3 holed cleats have over their 2 holed brothers? (Apart from the obvious ministry of silly walks).
Cheers for your forth coming help.

Wow! "low speeds in busy stop and start urban traffic" sounds like an optimum use case for (checks notes) a bicycle!

Perhaps you need to remind Campagnolo then, as they have "Campy Code" stores in the UK as well as Europe.
