[net.bicycle] need advice on bicycle shoes

*** REPLACE MY FEET PLEASE ***

Yet again, another desparate call out to fellow netters for help.
I've just recently got into biking and have noticed that my knees get a little
irritated. A visit to my podiatrist with the bike revealed the problem,
bad alignment of my feet in the toe clips. He has recommended that I get a pair
of bicycle shoes to keep my feet and knees aligned. I do wear
foot orthotics (2nd worst documented case of forefoot varus in the US).
Any suggestions on shoes (i.e. brands to look at, brands to avoid, what
to look for in a cleat, etc) would be greatly appreciated. send responses by
mail, and I'll post if anyone wants me to.
