I have Look pedals and a pair of Lake men's "walking" road shoes, which has a recessed cleat, similar to the mountain shoes. I like both. I need a wider shoe because of a foot problem, and they are conforming enough to not be a problem in the heel. I got the pedals for $50 during a clearance sale at Nashbar a couple years ago, which turned out to be a great price. At the time, a friend just pointed to them and said, "Buy these", so I did. Then I figured out that they were a great price. They have a nine degree float, and I haven't had any problems.
