When it comes to our Tandems, Shimano SPD's are our choice for both stoker and especially the captain. Being easy to walk in, and having a wide range of release tension settings are just a couple of the reasons we use them. My stoker has serious knee issues as well and these have worked for her at the lowest settings not to mention being more sure footed for walking.
At the XT and XTR levels, I'm OK with the weight issue and you can always find all kinds of either on Ebay, if you are so inclined. Shoe wise.....the options are unlimited. Good luck in your search.
