Last year, or a couple of years ago, I started a thread, and sought out the most roadlike mtb shoes and settled on a nice pair of Shimano shoes that are nice and light and stiff like a road shoe. I dont really think the platform on the pedal adds anything with a shoe like that.

Disclaimer, I'm reasonably lightweight and low power output.
Same stiff shoe experience for me. I can’t tell any difference.

I do like having the larger platform on one bike, in case i ride with sneakers to the park with the kids.
