    Just looking for suggestions/ opinions on commuting clipless. Have Look cleats on racing/training bike and mountain bike spds on my commuter (have about a 5-10 min walk to work)

    Am due an upgrade for both and ideally Id like to get one pair of shoes and one system as I had/have occasional knee issues so want to get the sizing identical in both. So any suggestions??? get 2 systems again or is there a single system that is compatable with recessed cleats and stiff soles for racing? (I invested in a goniometer so if two systems is the way to go, I can just set up both bikes seperately)

    Thanks

    I think you will have an easier time finding walking-style bike shoes that have SPD as opposed to SPD-SLs. Any shoe I saw with SL's was a road shoe and wouldn't be suitable for walking a km (e.g., 10 mins?).

    Plenty of MTB shoes fit the bill and look like trainers, with soles and SPDs for pedals e.g., like the A530.
