I'd recommend a high topped mt. bike shoe like a Shimano SH-ME7 or something similar.
Bike shoes have stiffer soles where it matters, and even if just using on a platform pedal, they are better then running shoes or hiking boots.
The high side provided some foot support and if you get into longer distance you can move to SPD pedals and clipless cleats. The shoes will be ready to go
