I guess my thinking went like this: "why would 90% of road riders have cleats where they have to awkwardly walk around every time they get off their bike when they could have SPD? There must be clear advantages to the various road systems. I wonder if one system might be a little better for walking than others while still offering those advantages?"
Road shoes are great for many riders, who unload the bike from the car, swap shoes, ride 50k to a coffee stop, have a coffee, then ride 50k back and swap shoes. Plain old SPD are much better if you're regularly going to walking more than 100yds at one time.

Frogs
The 2 bolt mtb pedal I find to be most like road pedals are the Speedplay Frogs. Very solid platform and light weight. And I want to agree with the earlier post that it helps to have a high end/carbon soled mtb shoe.

I just went from Look all around to Shimano SPD-SL - just ordered Shimano cleat covers from Amazon , had covers for the Look cleats as well , they save the plastic from getting too chewed up by the road .
