Non-clipless Cycling shoes

Do any manufacturers make cycling shoes that are either not made for cleats or are slim enough to use with clips? I like bike shoes with a rubber sole that I can walk around in a bit that aren't clunky and heavy. The pair I have now are Specialized from 1987. They've got a slim profile and a thinnish midsole with a rubber sole. They kind of have the profile of a soccer shoe without the cleats. I wish I owuld have bought many pairs.

Whenever I look at new shoes the mountain models have super-thick soles and midsoles and the profile is really tall. They're like hiking boots and they don't fit into clips. Road shoes don't seem practical for walking around at all, and bmx shoes are clunky. I'd like to find a mountain shoe that has a slim profile, or a road shoe you can walk a bit in. Anyone have any suggestions? I figured I'd ask in here seeing that vontage riders probably use clips a lot more than average.
