After much internal debate I bought some SPD MTB shoes. Think they're the right choice for distance riding.
A lot of Audaxers would agree with you. My long distance shoes are Spesh Pro MTB with carbon soles. It was funny seeing people waddling around in road cleats at the controls on PBP and LEL.
Being able to walk around easily off the bike makes a huge difference and the carbon sole mitigates any 'hot foot' that you may get with a less stiff sole and the (relatively) smaller pedal/cleat interface.

Gone for the XC61 for the stiffer carbon comp sole. As shimano as they make good shoes that fit my feet. Looked at teh Giro Private but they're not carbon comp sole and a bit ugly (though maybe a bit lighter - not sure how).
