I'm going get some SPD pedals and stiff MTB shoes for road cycling. I'm not looking to get talked into or out of MTB+SPD (already did that in another thread). Just looking for advice on MTB shoes that would be stiff, lightweight, minimize hot-spots and almost as effective as road shoes while not breaking the bank (around $100 or less on sale). Also need decent SPD pedals that are cheap ($50 or less), relatively light and easy to get in and out of.

Here is what I have so far:

Shoes:

Specialized Sport MTB: http://www.specialized.com/us/en/bc/...jsp?spid=64228
Specialized Comp MTB Shoe: http://www.specialized.com/us/en/bc/...jsp?spid=64227
Pearl iZUMi Men's All-Road Cycling Shoe: http://www.amazon.com/Pearl-iZUMi-Me...e_sg_ai_ps_t_1

SIDI dominators are out of the question as they are $200+.
