I bet your LBS could order them for you.

Where the **** can I find the first pair listed?
The RS Signature II in brown/tan. Those look sharp as anything. Exactly what I'm looking for, but I can't find them ANYWHERE. Someone help me out.

if you're going for performance (stiffness, power transfer)
don't get anything with a tread. i can't quite figure out what
onelesscar meant with the "roadie style" comment. those are clearly
mtn bike shoes. mtn bike shoes (ones with tread) are inherently more flexible
than a road shoe. mtn bike shoes are made to get the best of two worlds: riding
(at higher rpm's than road/track usually) and getting off the bike and running.
to get this they're much more flexible than a road shoe. so yeah.
i guess this doesn't really matter as you're talking about wanting a cool looking
shoe that's good for riding about town.
i say use your clipless with some proper road shoes for the track and hard rides
and use regular clips and straps with whatever shoes for riding around.
a pedal wrench is about $5.

louis garneau makes some nice shoes as well. i rock the ergoeco, which look a lot better in person than they do on the website.
if, like me, you're vegan, you should note that their touring shoes are leather. i didn't note this until it was too late, but i'm very happy with the shoes all the same.

GET anything, anything will be fine for u... maybe ur even luckier and u might find the shoes on sale. So now u'll end up paying 30 or 20 bucks for them.... Get them for the color, do u like red get the red ones, do u like yellow get the yellow ones... the next solution is get a pair of nike snickers and use those ones, after all u want them for walking too right?...

I have a pair of Cannondale MC610s mountain shoes that I got for about $30 on sierra trading post. Also have a pair of Lake MX160s that I got on closeout at nashbar for $10! ($15 with shipping/tax)
I wear the Cannondales a lot more -- they look more like "normal" shoes and the cleats are almost completed inside the rubbers of the soles.
PS: I have never paid more than $40 for cycling shoes (or any shoes for that matter).
