Stylish casual/urban cycling shoes?

Hi,
Anybody know of any shoes that are SPD/clipless compatible and don't look like chunky mountain bike/off-road shoes? I ride a fixed wheel for commuting to work short distances and doing errands/visiting mates at weekends and want to change from flat pedals to something with a bit more security/hold. I'd rather not carry another pair of shoes with me, so ideally I want something I can walk around in after I lock up my steed.
Admittedly, my preferred style of trainer is quite slim - Converse, Superga etc. Anything out there that may suit my needs? Everything I've seen looks like I'm about to go on a hike up a mountain (I know rigidity is key for cycling shoes, but surely there's something semi-stylish?).
Thanks,
Nick

Vans? http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/vans ... -prod50387
More BMX/Trials/Dirt than MTB shoes, some similar brands also do SPD variants, I think converse did once.I used to just ride my bike to work but now I find myself going out looking for bigger and bigger hills.0 -
Those Vans Warners don't look too bad. Might check them out in a shop. Thanks for the suggestions!0

I've got these for commuting. Comfortable enought to walk in yet not too flexible on the fixed gear bike:

There's a good selection at always riding; I have a pair of DZRs that I commute in (and often wear through the day at work).Location: ciderspace0

These are the best I've found, really tempted by some Coves but just not pulled the plug yet. Maybe in summer.

DZR are definitely the way to go. I have the H20s which are presentable, warm and so far waterproof.0
