QP, I rock Shimano MTB ma-80's. I've worn them daily for 2 years now and they are still holding up. Comfy enough to wear all day long, cleats do click when walking on the street, but nothing like road shoes. I've used them with SPD cleats and now with Eggbeater cleats. 3 velcro straps keep them nice and snug. They were comfy since day one. I don't win any style points with them though.
