I just got some Alpinestars SMX-4. Last years model but I rode in them for the first time on Monday and after 20 minutes forgot they were there. Rigid soles of course but I find walking in them to be OK.
Very comfortable for me with just a pair of reasonably thick socks on. I recommend them. £130 from J&S.
They also do a waterproof version for £180 iirc.

got Sidi Vertex for my birthday, and very pleased with them, but it somes down to what you like, I find the Sidi's are better quality for sub £250, anything above Alpinestars seem the way to go, but they are a bit loud for me, and too expensive
