Hi Zen, sorry for not responding sooner, the shoes i've used the last couple rides I've been using on my road bike, I'm not sure what model but they were the cheapest pearl izumi mt shoe from a few years ago, with three velcro straps, very basic. Since I have the mallets now I wanted a more sneakery shoe to go with them (and because I end up pushing my bike more frequently then I'd like to, which sucks in hard/uncomfortable bike shoes) so I bought Pearl Izumi X-Alp Enduros recently. It's been too rainy to get on the trails the last few days so I haven't even had a chance to try them yet! But they have a softer sole, two regular velcro straps and one ratcheting velcro strap. They seem pretty secure, but comfy.
