Do some review searches for them. It will give you some idea.

Cycling shoes last for years as you walk very little in them. It's a good idea to use the same shoes for training and road riding, so you get comfortable with the positioning of the cleats etc.
White shoes look good when they are new, but don't stay white for long, so be wary of buying white shoes.
Velcro straps are OK. I've a pair with velcro, but after a while, they get stuck in a set position and can't be "extra" tightened up for when you are climbing or racing.
Shoes with a ratchet system can be "extra" tightened.
The best pair I had was a pair of Diadora's, which had traditional Shoe laces, with a velcro flap which covered the front of the shoe/laces - they were black.

Shimano do MTB SPD shoes which are usually quite cheap for last years model. Pedals are cheap too. All the benefits of clip in and being able to walk properly

They're fine, the only difference is they often close the opposite way for easier transitions
