New mountain bike shoes

I’m planning to purchase new mountain bike shoes this week.  The ones I have now have served me well but they are worn out.  I would like to have something that is “walkable” on hard surfaces. Any suggestions?
Thanks

I am looking at the Sidi SD15's to possibly replace my ancient Dominators which are finally beginning to wear out.  The SD15's are designed for walking as well as riding.

I ride flats only, so my opinion is pretty much useless  Wink

Sidi's are the BEST! My Shimano's have served me well too.

I picked up a pair Shimano  M089 and a new set of Shimano pedals last night. Hopefully I can try them out Wed. evening.

I switch between flats and clipless depending on the trail, but I love my Mavic Razors, walkable on pavement without the cleat touching but easy to clip-in, too.

Specialized makes a pair that have a vibram sole. I have a pair that work well on pavement or other surfaces. Had to order them.
