Touring shoes

NeilP:
I'm after recommendations for a pair of touring shoes which I can wear in evenings when we have reached our overnight stop. Something with stiff enough soles to make the cycling part of the day comfortable but not looking so obviously like a cycling shoe for evening off the bike use.

I did the North Coast 500 2 years ago and an extra pair of footwear, despite being a pair of summer sandals, still seemed like a waste of pannier space.

Thanks

Flip flops, take little space

Exustar Stelvio

Any comfy, lightweight, [Goretex?] walking shoe + flat pedals, toeclips. Works for me.

Veloman:
I saw a chap with a rather clever solution.  He made inserts out of plywood to use during cycling for stiffness and simply took them out in the evening.  I think he had a shoe half a size up to allow for the wooden insert and the normal insert.  Stiffness for cycling and comfort for evening use.

My first pair of cycling shoes had wooden soles and were wonderful to use.
