I have done reasonably long rides (100 km and more) on flats and I haven't had any problems in terms of comfort. Riding them clipped in might have increased my average speed a little bit, but I can't see it having made too much of a difference.

Ditto .... and as for slipping on the pedals when wet, I use astroturf trainers with pimpled soles. Never had an issue with them.
