Well, last tour I just used my running shoes on pinned pedals. Reason being the Asics dry fast. I had no problem with pedalling or foot position, worked pretty well actually. I use to think stiff shoes were necessary but I'm changing my mind. I also had a pair of Teva sandals with me for the campsite and I could have cycled in them as well.
What shoes for touring? (Flat pedal lovers!)

I have a pair of old fashioned Dunlop Green Flashes I sometimes cycle around in, and the problem with canvas is it soaks up water very readily. I proofed them with Nikewax or somesuch in the end, but not really sure how well it's taken as I don't use them except for pub runs. I'd be interested how we'll you get on with the above.

Ok, Tevo Joyride Mids received and returned, I tried them on briefly but it wasn't really needed, hideous in the flesh and came up a little big as well.
Think I'm going to have to resort to shopping in the old fashioned way, otherwise I'm going to rack up the price of a decent pair of shoes just in returns postage alone.

I tour with two pairs of shoes for one pair of pedals. Sidi Genius 4 road shoes for clipping into my Shimano PD-M324 2-sided pedals between towns. They're stiff, comfortable, light, and dry quickly. Also carry Merrell Barefoot running shoes for city riding on the platform side of the M324s. Unbelievably comfortable for walking. Super light and dry quickly.

these have arrived and passed the first test, they fit and don't feel weird to walk in...I reckon they'll be a keeper

Says they feel just like wearing flip flops, have you tried them?
