I'm too cheap to buy nice MTB shoes so for me they either have no grip on the pedals (walking boots etc.) or no grip on muddy icy slopes/paths.

But I think they exist, maybe @platypus or @TvH or someone can recommend something specific

I always use Inov8 trail running shoes on flat pedals, no idea why others don't.
Obviously they are incredible for hike-a-bike.
They have laces so fitment is very adjustable and comfy. Roomy toebox.
Lightweight and drain very well so if it rains your feet dry out quicker than any other shoes.
I also like riding in Tevas for fun.
SPD is not always the answer.

Hmm, I've found the spikes on trail shoes don't interact happily with the pins on flat pedals. At least not as much as flat shoes. I'll try them again next time I go for a ride though
