Most important is to get something that fits your foot well especially in the heel/Toe area. Secondly it needs to have a stiff sole to transmit power to the peddles and save your arches. Been awhile since I raced, but Shimano once made mountain bike shoes that had rubber treaded soles and also had an area for a clipless pedal lug if you wanted to go clipless. Alot of recreational used them because lug or no lug they were easy to walk in.

Just do some browsing, find something interesting and then visit your local bike shop.

One note, I always found that my cycling shoes stretched so a generally bought the next size smaller.
