Eh, not a fan of spd's at all. Shimano MTB shoes aren't bad at all for road riding. They aren't as stiff or as light as road cycling shoes, that's for sure.
I've tried shimano mtb shoes with clipless on a road bike, and the stiffness and efficiency were not what I had hoped for.
Street shoes and platforms will be even worse.
