I put together a bike this spring with Shimano A520 pedals and Rt-82 shoes which I rather like. Shimano calls these shoes/pedals road or sport touring models. nice change of pace from the carbon soles/speedplays I have on my other bike, in terms of walking around and "stopping to smell the roses". Rt-82s are still relatively stiff and neither look out of place on a road bike if that's your thing.
