I would say they are medium stiff but flexible enough for me to stay in all of the time while bikepacking. I think the price is quite reasonable for the quality of the shoe.
Sounds to me like they may meet your criteria. Check 'em out:

Great Thread !

Clipped_in I'm interested in the 'sizing' - what's your 'shoe size' and what size do you use in these shimanos?
From my experience with Shimano shoes over the years, sizing can vary enough to be a full size different between models; and I haven;t seen these in our area LBS...
Thx
Ride On
