[Closed] Shimano AM45 SPD or AM41 Flat Shoe - Advice Please

I fitted flats to the full suss at the w/end and used normal nike skate style trainers & loved it. But the trainers are done.

Here's my dilemma - I've always ridden SPD & will continue to do so on the hardtail, so having The AM45 SPD which is stiffer & will allow me to put cleats on is a bonus, but they have a large section missing from where the cleat goes & I'm wondering if that might cause grip issues on the flats?? Or, should I bite the bullet & have a more flexible flat specific shoe like the AM41??

Another issue is sizing - I currently use the MO86 Size 42 and it's a perfect fit, but the same size AM45 has a higher heel cup which is causing my heel to slip out, even when I tried on thicker Sealskinz. I can't find a size 41 to compare, and I'm wondering if a smaller size would stop this from happening??

Anyone had similar issues?

Cheers
