Mountain bike shoes with 3 hole system?
Does anyone know of any mountain bike shoes which use a three hole system for attaching cleats?
I cycle a road-bike however I am adverse to purchasing road-shoes because of their uncomfortable off-bike use (walking).
I would like to purchase a pair of recessed cleat shoes with treaded soles and therefore an improved ease of movement off the bike, which are compatible with road pedals.
Thank you very much for any suggestions/thoughts.

Road pedals that are made for shoes with protruding cleats won't work with shoes that have recessed cleats.
If you could get a shoe with a 3 screw cleat that's recessed, the recessed cleat wouldn't protrude enough to clip into a road pedal, if the cleat protruded enough to clip into a road pedal the shoe wouldn't be any better to walk in then a road bike shoe.

I used spd PD-M520 pedals with SH-M087 shoes on my road bike for a long time while commuting to school because I could walk around in them afterwards. I never had any problem with foot pain or anything like that that some people say you get with the smaller area.
