I started with flats, ended up with a ton of shin scrapes because I kept slipping pedals even with good shoes and good pedals. I rode clipless for 2 months and it wasn’t for me so I switched back to flats. Now I can keep my feet on the pedals much easier because I was forced into the right position.
Ultimately it’s all personal choice, I like what Jeff Kendall-Weed said about reducing the consequences of mistakes by switching to flats.
