They ave trail running and hiking shoes that would have the soles Akon to our MTB shoes, if that is something you need.
Kudos to you and
Kent T for keeping the riding up, cycling is my means of managing and dealing with PD, and its symptoms and the clutter in my head from daily life.

I have cleats in the shoes, but only use them indoors. I don't feel safe outdoors with the clipped in pedals, after breaking my back. I FEEL more fragile than my surgeon swears I am not... She suggested I never lift more than 1000 pounds.
I've been wearing Brook's Adrenaline in size 13. But they are just a little tight with the AFO. I'm currently in a Victos branded shoe, advertised as a wide toe box for toe splay when under load. I wore New Balance for years. But the last couple pair I tried were not as supportive as what I used to remember them for. My podiatrist got me started on Brooks.
Swapping to large platform pedals, I can use good sneakers.
