Do such a thing exist??
I know Giro have done the Alpineduro boots but I'd rather have a shoe really. Brasher walking boots (or giro brasher lookalikes) have never been a good look with shorts or 3/4'ers.
edit: Just seen some Vaude Kimon TR's.... anything else?
Any suggestions welcome.
Thanks in advance.
Am45?
Not sure what you mean by Vibram-style. Do you just want a treaded sole instead of smooth rubber? The New Vaude Green Shape shoes/boots have some vibram tread fore and aft for walking grip

The Mid boot (lower pic) has a Sympatex lining.
I have some Cube all mountain shoes and they're great!
Shimano MT71. £90 or thereabouts. Waterproof. SPD and flat Vibram sole. Ive had a pair of these for touring and winter commuting for 6 or 7 years. Bit heavy and not brilliant for walking but I like em. There's also the XM7 which look like an upgrade for an other £20 or so.
Northwave Explorer GTX?
Thanks for the responses guys.
What I meant was I don't want a old skool winter spd shoes / boot with stiff plastic style sole (eg specialized defroster etc etc) because I do lots of hike-a-bike riding so need to be supple and grippy on the sole unit, like a vibram rubber sole, but I haven't been able to find an SPD, waterproof, rubber soled shoe.
Shimano AM 45 are a possibility but not much grip for when its muddy when sessioning in woods.
Vaude Green Shape look nice but I need SPD (and need waterproof).
Cube all mountain do look a great shoe, but their not waterproof and are vented so are summer shoes.
Shimano MT71 are an option I suppose, but look like abit of a touring type shoe - but not dismissing them.
Northwave explorer gtx - another possible option I suppose thanks for that. Look quite trainer'esk and lightweight but an option.
What doesn't anyone make a all mountion type shoe that's waterproof!!?? Specialized 2Fo clip goretex???? Cube all mountain gtx?? something like that.
Someone could clean up making a winter shoe like that, complete gap in the market I reckon.
Any more ideas?
Cheers
giro do some. spd with vibram soles. terraduro and the rumble mosels.
Lake did them yonks ago. Worth a look...?
