I haven't ridden the 2FO but I do hear good things.
Just as point to information, the Shimano shoes I reference are the [**GR7**](https://nsmb.com/articles/shimano-gr7-flat-pedal-shoes/) which use a Michelin rubber sole. They're excellent. Vibram is weird to me as they make very impressive climbing shoe rubber but the mountain bike options are always of the less-grippy variety - even when the shoes are excellent.
