MTB shoes for commuting - recomms?

mmcarthy, those Shimano M183s seem to have a soccer stud/cleat at the toe! How extreme is your commute?

I find Shimanos very narrow. Bontrager makes the fitment of the SPD cleat really difficult - I've nearly sliced a finger off in the process. If you have a wide foot, I'd say Specialized - never tried the Muddy Foxes though.

I ride an SS MTB, I run up a lot of muddy hills as a result, the studs come in very handy!
