SPD's are good for nipping to the shop etc as you don't need to change shoes when you get there and change back when you leave, you can easily walk in a pair of MTB shoes. I use mine all the time and if I need a spare pair of shoes just carry some in a bag. Personally I think road shoes for anything other than serious training or racing are a little over kill as they can be quite limiting.
