Looking for some new flat shoes for the odd time I use flats (mostly spuds), and was wondering if these shoes would suffice as flat shoes (with the cleat out obviously!) every now and then?
A bit reluctant to buy a separate pair of flat shoes as most of my riding is with SPDs, so thought these would kill 2 birds etc!

Given me the slip, or relied on my poor sense of direction and 'taken the lead' as I head back to the start point ๐Ÿ˜‰

BTW - I think route 46 looks good (from the book)

They used to make a flat pedal version of that shoe (maybe they still do?) which I have - it's been fine for a year or so.

I tried my mp66 with flats but they just felt too weird after coming from Fivetens. the mp66s never felt like they actually gripped the pedals, just like they were sitting on top.

I'd go for flat specifics every time. Fivetens or maybe try Shimano AM40
