Pearl Izumi Vagabond M4 vs. Shimano M075
Does anyone have experience with either of these shoes? I can't decide which would be better for long rides and walking time off my bike.

I have both, actually. I modified the Vagabonds to work with CrankBros cleats so the tread has been sanded down some (BIG BELT SANDER!) but overall -
I found the Vagabonds were a little stiffer and I find the M075's have a softer tread for walking and aren't quite as stiff for pedaling but nothing significant. If you are going to be using SPD's then I'd have to give a tiny edge to the M075's for walking, but otherwise, I'd buy either or both shoes again.
