If he already knew what he wanted, why ask for recommendations or comments?
Exactly.
The OP and others interested in the topic might even profit from the observations of those of us who have tried SPD winter shoes and found them lacking for one reason or another: for example, the problem of water seeping in through the cleat slots.
After a couple of winters using different SPD winter shoes, including SIDI police boots, I switched to toeclips (without straps) and lightweight, waterproof boots.
