SPD compatable dress shoes?
anyone know of any "business casual" type shoe that accept SPD cleats? Something without colors or logos preferably. and something that you can walk in.
I found these, which look pretty business like (don't like the orange though):
any others out there?

Stupid orange dots messing up a perfectly good shoe. Designers can be idiots sometimes. I don't know of any good normal looking bike shoes, but I'd like to see if anyone knows.

why bother? Go to a shoe outlet store. Buy a decent inexpensive pair of dress shoes and leave em at work. Works for me.

I like the three 1950's Buick portholes on the side. A big orange grille in the toe would complete the effect and cool your toes. Very retro.

i like the idea of hopping on and off the bike without switching shoes. sometimes i might ride up to meet someone for dinner or something and really don't want to carry extra shoes with me. so, it's not strictly for work.
