I use my old road bike for cross training, and a cycling friend recently sent me a set of Shimano SPD pedals. I don't know much about cycling shoes, but would it be possible to super glue the special cleats on to the bottom of an old pair of track spikes? I don't feel like spending $400 for a nice pair of cycling shoes.
I'm not sure if super glue would be the best method. I also have to believe that there is some middle ground between homemade pieces of crap and $400 cycling shoes.
Cycling shoes generally have a rigid sole; track spikes are flexible. Go for the middle ground, and buy some cycling shoes for < $100. You don't need the best.
Go to nashbar.com and order some cheap shoes. You can get them for $50-100 bucks.

So pay $50 for a mediocre pair of cycling shoes. That is like saying "I'd really like to own a car, but I don't want to pay $300,000 for a Lamborghini."

Been there done that.
so I'll settle for $50 shoes until the cycling-barefoot movement comes around. Wait a minute, that might be painful...
