Only if you like your toes popping out of one pair and no grip on the pedals form the other.Plenty life left in them.

yea my son uses those, loves themGuys, finally I gave a chance to the specialized dfo dh flat and I can confirm that they are more grippy than my current 5/10 freerider pro View attachment 130126

Surely if they were flat pedal shoes they wouldn't have the removable part to fit cleats...I have used shimano boots for 10 years at least. I have 2 pairs they are spd but I never fitted cleats. They have vibram walking soles but they slide along pedals easily. Never been an issue but these new Leatts are strange to me because of that , i can't remember the last time I had grippy rubber soles.

They weren't flat pedal shoes I probably did use cleats with them once upon a time first pair at least ten years old . I found as I got older I wasn't happy with cleats in really technical stuff. Also i always preferred a boot as I have had too many stones bouncing of my ankles on fast rocky descents . Not many flat soled cycling specific boots available 10 years ago . Had a few skinned shins with beartrap pedals that's all . Seen so many folk fall and not managing to unclip more than I care to remember .Surely if they were flat pedal shoes they wouldn't have the removable part to fit cleats...
Flat pedals are dangerous, get attached dude..

Vibram sole with no cleat fitted has never been a problem with grip for me and I've done most of the man made places in Scotland with them. Remember we served our time using trainers back in the dayCleat boots on flat pedals is a terrible combination for grip

Wouldnt work with rubber bit i always removed the rubber bit and put silicone in to stop water working OK for me .Oh yeah, I remember the days of trainers, wellies, hiking boots (with vibram soles). But having tried cleated shoes with the fill in rubber panel over the hole for the cleat on flat pedals, they are pretty awful. None of the above are as good as dedicated flat shoes like 5.10s for grip on flats. Shimano do hiking boot style shoes for flats if you like the boot style.
