I got the crank brothers candy and specialized mtb shoes w/spd cleats. They work fine for my current riding but I thought I would like the mtb shoes for when I got off bike and had to walk anywhere. So far, the only time I really get off my bike is when I get back home or a small stop for water on the ride. Next pair I get will be road shoes for sure...not sure on the pedals yet.
And I do sometimes develope the "hot spot" on my foot...but nothing too bad so far.
