    Shimano have some that are a bit more hiker-esque. These are highly regarded over here as winter cycling shoes. I've only used Sidis so I have no experience of those. Quite a steep price though imho if it's not exactly what youre looking for. Lake also makes some not so cycling shoe looking ones but don't know any particular models, sorry.

    Edit: How could I forget the Chrome Kursk! More your style and some of my bike messenger friends use them all the time so I guess they're better than average qualitywise.

      Betcha Viberg or Beck's could custom build a set of boots with the fittings for you.  I've seen it done with golf cleats; the process is basically the same…

      And you do need a new pair of boots.:D

            Why even bother with clip ons?  I personally can't stand them.  I use studded pedals.

              Pfft, if you want to be reasonable about it, I guess those are ok.;)  I couldn't resist the chance to suggest a gratuitously over the top choice, though.

                I am not using clips atm, as I only have one boot with a clip and hate it.  It is amazing how much more efficient it is when you can pull up as well as push down…

                  Giles, unless I'm already too late, I would seriously recommend Five 10 minnaar's:

                  http://fiveten.com/products/footwear-detail/23-minnaar

                  They have the the stealth sole, which is the stickiest rubber I've ever used on a shoe full stop, plus this model has the SPD option too.  Best of both worlds.

                    Not too late thanks.  As it is my birthday in a couple of weeks, Mme B has just been pinged…..

                            I have a pair of DZRs for 'casual' town cycling when I need to walk as well. They're pretty good.

                            For a lot more suggestions, check this thread out.

                              DZR's look cool.

                              Which thread?  This one?

                                    Now,  that looks like a trail….

                                      Jesus specmvl!  Where is that trail?  I dream of places like this to ride my mt. bike.

                                        Vinschgau, South Tyrol. Amazing trails over there and 300+ sunny days/year. Went there for a 2-week trip of pure MTBing last year. Highly recommended, though there isn´t much else to do besides riding your bike.

                                          Definitely gonna have to google map that.  I don't have a clue as to where that is.  Sounds and looks amazing.
