Spd Clipless Pedals

Is it feasible to use mountain bike style Shimano SPD pedals on a road bike rather than SPD-SL style pedals?
I am looking to upgrade to Shimano SPD clipless pedals on my road bike and am pretty stuck with regards to the right ones to get!?
All of the road specific pedals I have seen (SPD-SL style) use a different cleat mechanism to the mountain bike pedals (such as the M520) but I much prefer the mountain bike shoes which have a smaller cleat and are much easier to walk in! I was just wondering if it is feasible to use a mountain bike style SPD pedal on a road bike or if pedals like theA520 are a kind of compromise between the two?
There are no pedal police. You can put any pedals on your road bike that you want. Many people like the SPD cleat on road bikes because they can use the same shoes for road or mountain biking. On the road, SPD style cleats won’t make you waddle like a duck like the SPD-SL or Look style cleats. The only negative thing I’ve heard about SPD style cleats on the road is that they have a small contact patch which can cause discomfort on very long rides.
