I've walked miles and miles in mountain bike shoes for various reasons...mostly related to the ability -or lack thereof- of my ride partners. While not the most comfortable shoes for hiking, you can walk a very long way in them. Go with a mountain bike shoe and a two sided mountain pedal. Dive in, it's just easier that way
