Absolutely love it! Sure. it's slower and harder when descending but the climbing abilities are amazing. And you have to think ahead regarding pedal strike on rocks etc but you quickly get the hang of it. I rode brakeless for a while but it was too hard to do steep descends properly because of the speed build-up but now that I have the brake I can practically do almost any descent that's not too slippery (wet rock, roots etc.) But it sure is fun riding fixed offroad!

Shimano have some that are a bit more hiker-esque. These are highly regarded over here as winter cycling shoes. I've only used Sidis so I have no experience of those. Quite a steep price though imho if it's not exactly what youre looking for. Lake also makes some not so cycling shoe looking ones but don't know any particular models, sorry.
Edit: How could I forget the Chrome Kursk! More your style and some of my bike messenger friends use them all the time so I guess they're better than average qualitywise.

Betcha Viberg or Beck's could custom build a set of boots with the fittings for you. I've seen it done with golf cleats; the process is basically the same…
And you do need a new pair of boots.:D

Pfft, if you want to be reasonable about it, I guess those are ok.;) I couldn't resist the chance to suggest a gratuitously over the top choice, though.

Giles, unless I'm already too late, I would seriously recommend Five 10 minnaar's:

They have the the stealth sole, which is the stickiest rubber I've ever used on a shoe full stop, plus this model has the SPD option too. Best of both worlds.

When's your Birthday G, Pams is on the 17th.
No plans to go back to gears any time soon.
