I also wear New Balance most of the time. My daughters tell they're "dad shoes." Being a dad, I'm ok with that.
On the bike I wear Pearl Izumi All Road shoes, with Crank Brothers cleats. They're very walkable and a decent compromise on sole stiffness. They do look exactly like bike shoes though. When I get to the office I change into skate shoes.
