I'll get about 1 year our of a pair with a lot of hiking.
So probably 2-3 years for us mere mortals :)
I guess riding in the UK is tamer. It’s rare that I have to walk anything and when I do it’s more like 10 minutes than hours at a time.

Depends. I can walk for long periods in Scotland or lakes.
I'm going to build my neuron up with flats because I intend to use it in the mountains and while sometimes I'll ride always, others I could end up hiking for hours to get to some paths I want to expire. I might go back to clips but want to see what the fuss is about

Yeah they did some custom. They were good till I snapped the sole in half. But they still held too much water and too warm.
I spent winter trying a bunch of shoes and settled on the pearl izumi X Alp summit. They're breathable and drain well. Plus good vibram sole for walking. The vibram is a bit soft but grippy. I'll get about 1 year our of a pair with a lot of hiking. I can walk in them for ages no issues. Great show.
I didn't like the adidas sole, thought the grip was poor. Plus this clip in version didn't bend well and was uncomfortable.
If I were looking for flat MTB shoes, I'd proberly go find some vibram approach shoes. Because they would suit my riding (hiking) best, and that's what I'm doing now.
