I really like the Specialized BG comp mountain bike shoes I have. They are very stiff, so they are comfortable for riding all day. I don't like the more casual style spds shoes, they give me hotspots if I ride in them all day. I don't have any problems walking around in my BG's, but I do switch to another pair of sneakers when the ride is done. They also dry really quickly if they get soaked, which is a big plus.
Also, a more effective way to search bike forums is with google. Type "touring shoes site:bikeforums.net".
