I need some mtb shoes for cross season. I'm taking back my Pearl Izumi Quests as they tore my feet up something serious after a few minutes. Ick!

I tried the Shimano WM60s and they seemed comfy. Anyone have any personal favorites that are not Sidis? (don't want to spend that much $). I have Gaerne road shoes and like them. Anyone ride Garene mtb shoes? Carnacs? I'm looking on ebay again..
