Clipless cleats - in Italian Oxfords

So, this is wacky. But I've always wanted to get into cobblering

But I was wondering if anyone has any experience installing cleats in regular shoes.

I'll be using Pronto Uomo Oxfords I scored at the Goodwill, (here's a pair for sale on e-bay):http://cgi.ebay.com/Prontp-Uomo-%22-...080625115r2321)

The sole is all leather, so it seems like it'll be easy to work with.

I'm planning on making the cleat fairly recessed; I'm not sure on which pedals I'm going to purchase, but i'm leaning towards SPD style.

I'd like to hear some ideas and advice before I begin.

I'll keep this updated with photos as I obtain the pieces and put together the shoes.
