[Closed] SPD shoes that look like normal shoes?

What's out there?
I have a pair of Shimano MT90 boots, which are great as you can wear them off the bike with a pair of jeans, but still not ideal for the office or cycling to meetings.

The Dromarti ones look ok, but the SPD model don't look as nice as the roadie versions.

Anything else out there worth looking at?

Cheers,
Nick

It's a lot easier to actually wear normal shoes and use flat pedals. ๐Ÿ™‚

Go with the old nail in the sole types from tdf 1970s and get some brogues and spd cleats ๐Ÿ™‚

I've got a pair of the spd shoes that Vans did before these , they look just like a normal pair of skate shoes.

I also have a pir of MT90s, but they're always filthy.

I have some 661 Filters I wear to work everyday.

(661 are made in the same factory as Shimano, so the fit is the same for the same size)

In a similar vein to the MT21s there is the MT22 - http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=46594 - might be worth a look

One day I will have enough money for a pair of Dromarti's. (By which I really mean I will have enough money to be able to justify the cost). Bet I hate them once I've got them.

I've got a pair of these from [url= http://www.missionworkshop.com/products/footwear/mens/spd_cycling_shoes/rondel_sneaker.php ]Mission Workshop[/url]. Think they're only available at 14 bikes in that London, but if you ask nicely they will post them.

Bit cheaper than the Dromartis, maybe a shame about the white logo?
