I use the Impact Five-Ten Low with BMX style pedals, the level of grip, comfort and support has been very impressive. But they are bulky, quite heavy and have the capacity to soak up a lot of water. I spoke to FiveTen about alternates, same sort of sole, but lighter and dry faster. They suggested the Savant model which seems like it'll fit the bill for warmer wet weather. For Winter riding I'm using old Timberland boots and some overshoes at present. Planning on getting some lightweight, waterproof, hiking boots with a bit more room for extra socks.
I tried clipless, being an impatient sort I converted 3 bikes at once, hated them, have gradually sold off all the bits. Still have Northwave Mission ATB MTB cycling shoes to offload, size 10, less than 50 miles in dry conditions on them. If anyone has an interest in a cheaper option then send me a PM for info/piccies etc. But if you hate clipless and fall off, it's not my fault.
