Spd shoes for a road bike

[wemorgan]

I'm after some SPD shoes for my road bike. I'd like them to be simple and lightweight as the regular road spd-sl shoes are. I'd also like the cleats to be recessed so I can walk normally. Does such a shoe exist?

I'm thinking something like this but don't know if the cleats are recessed.

Thanks.

Cheers. It looks as if my search will be easier than I originally thought then. Ta.

I had a problem last year with road SPD pedals and MTB shoes - once clicked in I couldn't release. Obviously MTB pedals would have been fine. I never got to the bottom of it - just made sure I used the road shoes on the road bike and the MTB shoes on the mountain bike. What pedals do you plan to use?

I used to have SPD-SL, but never got on with them. So now I'm returning to Shimano SPD that I've used before on previous MTB bikes. Also being able to wear thicker/warmer shoes in the winter will be appreciated. The increased shoe flexibility doesn't bother me as I don't race, I just do leisure and sportive rides, so comfort is more important than speed.

They look nice. From the photo it's not too clear whether the soles are deep enough to recess the cleats. Are they? Cheers.

Cheers for the suggestion. Though I've already bought the pedals, I'm just after the appropriate shoe now.
