Teva links are good, or maybe look at 5.10 Impacts as well. 5.10' have phenomenal amounts of grip. In fact, some riders can find them too grippy!

Also, what pedals are you currently running? Having good shoes won't help if your pedals are not very grippy in the first place.

Yeah, get fivetens, the grip combined with flat pedals is incredible. Plus they have a very ridgid sole which helps a lot with comfort and control of the bike. And yes they grip to a point that if your feet is incorrectly placed on your pedals, you can't "twist" it into position simply will not move. Check into the impacts or in the slightly less bulky freerider. Those are as close to clipless as possible.

Either would be good, although I would lean towards the 5.10's myself (although I am a bit biased on these, as I own 2 pairs of impacts).
