I have only good things to say about my Shimano T092 touring shoes.
They're nice and stiff, but they have a good rubber sole that makes
walking easy. I have logged about 25,000 miles and 2 million
vertical feet on them over two years. When the sole wore down enough
to expose the cleat, I just added some Shoe Goo to the sole and kept
riding.

One shoe with cleat weighs 425 gm, so they're not what I would call
super light. If you're a weight weenie, you might want to look
elsewhere.

If you want to indulge your weight weenie tendencies (I do often),
then maybe the Nike Poggio with SPD adapter is your choice: 280 gm
with SPD adapter (without cleat).
