If you don't plan to race, I don't know why you really need carbon soles. Lots of nylon road shoes come drilled for SPDs.
There are a couple of LG carbon shoes that are SPD-compatible, although not their highest end shoes.

I have no intention to race. I would like to do a couple of centuries a year and then just ride for fitness and fun. Our new cycling club has longer rides on Sat. that I'll be joining a couple of times per month too.
My keen's have a fairly flexible sole. When I put pressure I can feel the shoe bend which hasn't mattered much yet, but I can see it might on longer rides. Do mountain bike shoes flex like that? I don't care about the actual classification, but I do want stiff soles shoes.
