LAKE used to make a MTB shoe which could handle LOOK cleats ...
-
any idea of the make thanks
-
I thought my Lebanese-American friend would have jumped in & given you the necessary information by now ...
FYI. A simple web search should have given you the following information which you are asking for -- the LAKE CX 125 is apparently (still) available through NASHBAR by special order ...
Here is what the sole looks like:

- The CX 125 shoe from Lake is specially designed for people who want to be able to use their road pedals but still have the support of a treaded shoe. The large lugs on the sole extend past most cleats giving a supportive platform to stand on. The nylon sole under the lugs is nylon reinforced for durability and stiffness. The three strap upper gives adjustability and security. The upper is synthetic leather with nylon mesh inserts. This shoe has full SPD and Look-type cleat compatibility. We've found this shoe to run 1/2 size big.
Item No. » YS-LCX125
Nashbar does not list the cost, but the MSRP is apparently $100 ...Check these sites ...
- http://charlottebikes.net/product-list/shoes-1212/ (that's a "woman's" shoe -- which means it is made on a narrower last ... they can probably order a "regular" CX 125 for you if you provide a tracing of your foot)

BUT, with all shoes, even if the LAKE CX 125 has the sole which you are looking for, it may-or-may-not fit as well as another brand of shoes ...
If you think about it AND if you are handy, then you can probably modify your existing MTB shoes to accept a set of LOOK-compatible cleats by removing the conflicting cleats + drilling holes in the sole to accept appropriately sized three wood screws.
