Hybrid walking boots / trainers (Merrell etc). You're supposed to wear them for approaching the mountain (?) and then switch over to proper walking boots. AKA marketing term.

I'm in a similar quandry, I need some new shoes for use with my flat pedals, but reckon that all the shoes listed for flat pedals will be sueless if you have to get off the bike at any point that is not on tarmac. I need something that I could walk the bike in if needed.
One day i might have the confidence to go with SPDs but not yet

OK, perhaps I am misjudging them a bit then. How about mud?

I have those Bontrager shoes, the sole isnt very soft so I don't know how grippy they would be on flats. They are nice shoes tho, very comfy with a stiffish sole that doesn't kill you when you have to walk.
