I see the review, but I’m dubious how good they actually are. I’ve tried various shoes with flat pedals and I didn’t find Salomons great as the sole has too much curve. Fine for pootling, but the shoe pedal interface isn’t all that secure if you’re wanting your feet to stay on.
The question is why not bike specific shoes? I’ve used skate shoes because they’re cheap (at least they can be) and comfy and work well – the only major negative is lack of stiffness, but for messing around they work great. I’ve also used off-road running shoes for when I want better grip for hike-a-ride – I’ve not found any which work as well as specialist shoes, but those with a wide, flattish forefoot work fairly well. Haven’t tried approach shoes, but I expect they would work well. It’s a compromise between grip for walking and grip on the pedal. Though last year I walked to the top of Snowdon in my riding shoes having ridden up the miners track (I hadn’t planned on going to the top when I set off!)
