I like to be on and off my bike quickly, taking small hill climbing excursions without changing shoes. I have reverted back to old school MKS cage type toe clips for this reason.
I’m looking for a comfortable low-top hiking shoe, but something that is decently stiff in the sole and the body. I don’t mind some break in time. I currently am on my 6th pair of Merrell Intercept, they’re ok just not stiff/structured enough. Have been eyeing some Keen Jasper and those Vasque Juxt are super cheap (£30 uk).
I know about SPDs, eggbeaters, flats etc so save your suggestions there unless you have hiked in a pair of clipless shoes. This is what I want on this bike.
Thank you

I just use flat pedals and any shoes I like
Trail running shoes. Most have nice stiff souls, I use them just like your saying with old school clips, then can hike and adventure 💕. Never water proof shoes or thicker hiking shoes/boots. They will get wet (even if water proof) and will never dry out.
Indoor soccer shoes, like the adidas samba are pretty good. I now use Five Ten shoes, which are working out very well for me. I think they have some more hiking-oriented shoes, too. I have the same pedal/clip combo.
