To be fair we met at least one guy with the same MT 31 shoes who loved them.
I really love the MT-31... as a short-distance/commuter shoe. They're comfortable, walk well, and look like a "normal" shoe. Mine have worn well. The only problem is that the sole flexes too much for my liking; after 3-4 hours of pedaling, I
really start to feel the pressure from the SPD cleat. I
did wear my MT-31s on my recent Pacific Coast tour, but they weren't ideal. By the end of the day I was really ready to get out of them and I found I needed to take a decent lunch break about half-way through the day to let my feet recover. With the stock insole, even that would have been difficult...
