I am in the market for a pair of SPD-compatible shoes, and I am seeking
recommendations.

I wear a size 13 (48) shoe (size 14 in Nike brand), and my foot is quite narrow.
I'd like a well-made shoe that is designed both for efficient cycling and
comfortable walking.  I don't want to buy a pair of hooves.  If possible I
would like a shoe that contains no leather, though I realize that in my
size, I may have to take what I can find.  Also, I prefer shoes that are not
garishly decorated with neon-colored emblems or logos; reflectors are O.K.

Which brands or models should I try?  Which brands or models should I avoid?
Do Performance or Nashbar offer decent shoes?  What about REI?

For respondents in the Bay Area:  Which retailers offer Fit-Kit service or other
advice and service with the purchase of shoes and/or pedals?

Thanks for your suggestions, and if your response is of general interest, I may
post a summary.
