I have found men's shimano's to generally run nice and wide.

As for the original question I started with these intro level shimano's and loved them: (they lace up)

I now have road shoes but still have mtb shoes for when I go to spinning class. These I love even more than the shimano's, they are nike model 76001. They are super stiff but incredibly comfortable to walk in anyway. These are velcro.

That's my 2 cents
