Could you let me know how you go with them for comfort over long rides. I’m looking for a comfortable shoe for 100+ mile rides

How would you compare these to road shoes in terms of comfort and stiffness? Was considering switching to spd for gravel & road.

I picked up a pair of these at the start of the season and have done a brevet series plus a flèche with them.
For SPD they are the first shoe I’ve found where the upper was comfortable and the sole was somewhat stiff. I’ve had stiffer shoes but found them too narrow and had issues on long rides. I don’t ride road shoes, but previously had a pair of these Shimano shoes that they call a 10 stiffness. These are close. Definitely stiffer than Sidi dominator, Giro republic, Lake mx shoes, and Fizij terra.
The XC rubbed a little on my ankle when I first got them but after 400km or so they were broken in. I’ve done multiple 24 hour + rides with them no issues and have a 1200km coming up and will be using them.
