OP, I'm confused by your question. You're asking about road shoes with recessed cleats?

Road shoe cleats stick out while MTB shoe cleats are recessed in the treat of the shoes. Maybe I'm just misunderstanding the question.

Just in case though, I use these and really like them. I have a road bike but like to be able to walk around a little without duck walking. They have a good stiff sole but pretty comfortable to walk in.

They recently have come out with new models, the 1.0 and 2.0 versions now have Boa.
