There was loads of discussion of shoes in the facebook group last year. If I'd done it I'd have used flat pedals with FiveTens.
Have you come across these - mid-foot flat pedals? https://pedalinginnovations.com/
So these are just long pedals, designed to support more of your foot? Interesting. I used to use V8s then went to SPDs but then went to midfoot and never touched dirt until that mtb race.
