If walkability is important, then get MTB pedals (any brand/model).
Buy shoes that fit you. Stiff shoes are more efficient. Flexy shoes
are easier to walk in. "Comfort" depends on how much riding vs.
walking you plan to do.

Is there anything less expensive out there ? I have a pair on Nashbar
shoes/pedals that were $ 25.00 just a few years ago but their shot.

I have to remind myself that those prices are in american dollars and
not canadian pesos. Still, that sounds like a very good price. However,
you do realise that they appear to be LOOK work-alike cleat pattern. For
walk-ability you might be better off looking at plain-old SPD.

The performance shoes are probably not going to work for you. They are look
pedal clones and they are not easy to walk with. You need to get some SPD type
pedals. Check out
http://www.nashbar.com/profile.cfm?category=84&subcategory=1041&brand=&sku=1199
7&storetype=&estoreid=&pagename= . If they have your size, the price is hard
to beat. Add

3&storetype=&estoreid=&pagename= and you get shoes and pedals for less than
$50.
