Shoes with recessed cleats for Shimano SPD-SL Pedals?

Hi.
I have some Shimano SPD-SL Pedals and bought some road shoes with external cleats. They have been great but as my requirement is for Commuting and a mixture of cycling and then walking over a foot bridge, I have quickly warn out the cleats and they no longer allow me to clip into the pedal securely. Doh! Had I done more research, these were not the best choice for the actual usage I require, which leads me to my question...
What are the best shoe options compatible with the SPD-SL pedal that have a recessed/integrated cleat that would be ideal for cycling with a bit of walking? I'm a bit reluctant to get shoes that look too bulky/rugged therefore ideally I would like a more subtle shoe option.
Any suggestions/advice/links people could provide?
Any help would be much appreciated!

none.
change pedals and shoes."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

As above, I don't think you will find any such thing.
What you want are SPD pedals and shoes which will give you a fair choice of shoes styles.0 -
You could try using Cleatskins Grips. I use them for my Shimano SPD-SL shoes and they work great
