Need new shoes

My SPD shoes have given up the ghost. Looked around for a new pair and, DAMN, the price! I have PD A530 pedals (flat one side, SPD on the other) but used road shoes with both SPD and SPD-SL cleat compatibility. I would like to find some more shoes with this dual compatibilty, but at a decent price. Anyone know of any deals going? If not, I'll have to save up my pennies. I mean £60+ for not so great shoes that are stuck to a bike?!?!?!?!

Thanks, Snoops.
They have my size, luckily. I think a friend of mine has these shoes. I may ask him if I can try 'em out. I've found that road/mtb shoes vary quite substantially in size by brand/model.Ghost Race 5000 (2011) Shimano 105 Black

What about some DHB shoes from Wiggle. I've got one pair which I tend to use in the winter, so they've had a lot of hard use. I've had them for about three years now and they're still going strong. I reckon they have been excellent value for money.0

There aren't that many shoes on the market that have fittings for both SPD & SPD/SL, but here's a pair that may be worth a look: http://www.ribblecycles.co.uk/sp/road-track-bike/Cycling-Shoes-Road-Shimano-R087-SPD-SL-Road-Shoes/SHIMZSHR379Cycling weakly0

DHB shoes are nice shoes. I was actually looking at some not so long ago. They have discontinued the ones I wanted, but have others. How do DHB's fair with sizing, Kangarouge?Ghost Race 5000 (2011) Shimano 105 Black

Got these. Look as much like road shoes as any SPD shoes ever will but have a recessed cleat. Incredibly stiff sole, very comfy on the couple of 50+ milers I've done.0
