Hey all,

Looking at getting some cycling shoes for touring. I have some shimano pedals that are clipless one side, and flats on the other. I am really looking for a shoe that I can clip in when I want, but can also walk around in comfortably off the bike. I know it is tough, but avoiding the clip scrapes and shoes where the clips massively stick out is probably my #1 priority. I have narrowed it down to 2 shoes at the moment and was wondering if anybody had feedback on these:

#1 Shimano MT33

#2 Pearl Izumi X-Alp

I think they are both pretty good looking shoes, and both have good reviews. The Pearl Izumi seem to be a little bit better shoes for off the bike walking and even hiking, which is a plus. However, the Shimano are $30 cheaper. Any feedback or opinions on these?
