Thanks for looking! I commute everyday, and have been using a platform pedal so I can wear regular shoes. I don't like this. I am hoping to get some feedback on what brand or specific model of shoe is out there that will take an SPD cleat, but still can be walked around on like no big deal. The more important thing to me would be that I can walk around in the shoe like a normal shoe versus its value as a clipless shoe. If you can give me any insight, I would be most grateful.

See this thread just started today also:

Thanks, I really appreciate the thread you sent me too.
