While you can't just screw cleats into a soft bottom shoe. (the cleat screws will tear through the foam and rubber) I don't see why you couldn't take a little aluminum and make it work.
Cut a hole in the bottom of the shoe that's the right size for the cleat mount. Take a small bit of aluminum or carbon. 1/16" or 1/32" respectively, and cut it to fit in the toe box of your shoe. Put it in the show, mark the space that matches the hole you cut in the bottom of the shoe. Get a small block of aluminum to fit that hole. Glue that spacer to the part you have that fits your toe box. Drill, countersink, tap, and screw the toe box peice and spacer togother.
Use shoe goo to glue the "mount" into the shoe. I'd be sure to tighten your laces well!
Hmm... Perhaps a project to try myself. Not that It would make a good bike shoe, but stealth bike shoes might be neat. I can just imagine walking someone walking up to a clipless bike and taking off clipped in and all.
