On to my question. Is there a commuting shoe that will run a clipless system, look good enough to wear in an office and not get funny looks, AND not go "clip, clip, clip" as I walk down the hall. My LBS has TWICE now sold me a shoe saying you can attach the toe cleat and walk on flat floors without noticing it and it was BS both times!

I would love to bike to work firmly attached to my peddles and be able to get right to work without having to chance my shoes all the time. Also, I frequently work at multiple sites so I can't just leave a pair of dress shoes at one spot.

Many thanks for your comments.

I'm partial to Shimano MT20Ds. They can pass for kissing cousins to Rockports and look okay in a corporate casual setting. They are also walkable without too much "cleat click" Granted, if you walk across a lot of formica and tile your going to get some click, but over industrial carpet folks are going to be hard pressed to hear any "Tap-dance" coming from your shoes.
