Commuter SPD shoes

Hi all,

I know this has been discussed a billion times, but I was hoping someone could help me narrow things down a bit as I don't spend much time reading about cycling kit.

I commute 20 miles a day, 3-4 days a week. Single speed road frame, 25mm tyres. Lots of small hills.

Have been using SL pedals for nearly a year (so I can use the same shoes I use for my road bike) but I ride my bike around town enough that I really do need a pedal with a platform on one side like the Shimano A530. The SL pedals are OK but obviously are not made for trainers.

Can anyone recommend me some good commuting shoes to go with these SPD pedals? They need to be:

- Less than 80 pounds
- As stiff as an entry level road shoe
- Have recessed cleats (I don't walk far, but I do walk)
- Be breathable for summer
- Take an overboot for winter
- Available to try on at London bike shops

I think that's about it. Added bonus if they don't look terrible, as I will end up at the pub once or twice a week in them.

Thanks!
