A visit to Steves Bikes in Peterborough, purveyor of the old, the retro, the cool and the knackered, to pick up Mini's retro wheels.
The Raleigh Denim
Some of Steves junk… I mean stock.
Tommy surveys the devastation.
Mini gets her wheels, and is a happy bunny.

Went out trailriding with my monster fixed today. Had a blast!
Got properly muddy too!
We have this awesome central park that starts a 10-minute ride from where I live. It's amazing! Been riding the trails there for over a decade and there's so many of them I haven't gotten bored yet..

Absolutely love it! Sure. it's slower and harder when descending but the climbing abilities are amazing. And you have to think ahead regarding pedal strike on rocks etc but you quickly get the hang of it. I rode brakeless for a while but it was too hard to do steep descends properly because of the speed build-up but now that I have the brake I can practically do almost any descent that's not too slippery (wet rock, roots etc.) But it sure is fun riding fixed offroad!

Shimano have some that are a bit more hiker-esque. These are highly regarded over here as winter cycling shoes. I've only used Sidis so I have no experience of those. Quite a steep price though imho if it's not exactly what youre looking for. Lake also makes some not so cycling shoe looking ones but don't know any particular models, sorry.
Edit: How could I forget the Chrome Kursk! More your style and some of my bike messenger friends use them all the time so I guess they're better than average qualitywise.

Betcha Viberg or Beck's could custom build a set of boots with the fittings for you. I've seen it done with golf cleats; the process is basically the same…
And you do need a new pair of boots.:D
