I've been wearing some Adidas Minretts for like a year now, and they're official done. Even though they're Mtb shoes, once the small sharp outsole spike wore off, they looked like any old shoe, and went great with khakis; people were always surprised when they found out they were clipless. I'll probably pick up another pair for next fall.

For now, though, with nice weather coming, I need something different. For one thing, the Minretts don't look great with shorts (unless you like the boots-with-shorts-look) and they are the opposite of breathable.

Does anyone have any suggestions for an SPD shoe that is breathable and very low-profile? I don't really care about plate stiffness, or anything like that. If I could add some cleats to my running shoes I'd be pretty content.
