Good link. So it's basically a stiffener/support to stop the midfoot collapsing in raised midfoot shoes. I've also heard of rock plates which I assume are kind of similar plate to stop sharp stuff impacting the bottom of the foot. I'm just tile bagging on foot at the moment so doing 10-20k walks on mostly footpaths, roads and bridleways. But if I'm off the bike for longer I'll probably be looking towards some proper hiking to stop myself going insane.
I've got Shimano and FiveTen for flat pedals.
