I have SixSixOne skate shoes with SPD mount built into the sole. I can walk in them and so far they haven't been destroyed with skipping and such... I really hate cages and don't know how anyone can be satisfied with them... I'm thinking about switching over Look, with some real road shoes... I just love the feeling of being completely glued to the pedals... and I heard that you can tighten Look's to the point that you will never have an accidental break out during a skid.
