Hi there.
to provide a feedback, I refused the spd-sl pedals and bought a a530 touring spd.

Found some good reviews and I'm planning to use SPD on my commuter too.
Gonna install the a530 on my touring/cross/rando bike and t400 on my commuter later (when I build it)

I found a shoe that is kinda walkable with spd-sl cleats on a similar old thread (http://www.bikeforums.net/showthread...uot-Road-Shoes)
it's the lake cx125 which isn't produced anymore.

Now I'm looking for a good SPD shoe to make it all around. Found some good reviews on the new shimano click'r shoes (sh ct 40/45/70)
Found a reasonable price on the ct70, and I like it's apearance a lot.
If you guys have something against this shoe, please tell me.
I'm gonna use it to rando/commuting/touring
If it's not stiff enough for long distance rides, please let me know.

huge thanks
