What shoes to wear for indoor cycling?

I've been using light weight running shoes (238g/8.4oz) on flat pedals with Zefal toe clips for indoor riding and training about 2 hours a day. They are comfortable and reasonably safe for walking on my concrete floors, but the rubber soles are way too soft for my feet.

My 50 year old pair of cycling shoes (295g/10.4oz) with metal cleats, toe clips and straps are better for riding, but they're somewhat tight on my toes, and way too slippery and risky to walk around with on the floors between sets.

Is there a good compromise between them?

I might be interested to get lightweight spd shoes and pedals if they would fit and work for my situation. Otherwise, inexpensive shoes like my current ones would be fine with hard soles. I like to train hard, do workouts and online races, so lighter type racing shoes are preferred.

Comments and recommendations are much appreciated. Thanks.
