They work fine. Only downside is that they are a little heavy, but they'll work fine for both of your stated purposes.
I wouldn't bother with those. Once you experience the benefits of riding clipless, its hard to go back. I've been riding clipless for awhile, but recently, I made the mistake of buying a pair of the Shimano clipless/platform combo pedals for my touring/utility (long haul trucker) bike, thinking that I might occasionally use the platform side, but one try on the platform side was enough to convince how much riding platforms suck in comparison to clipless.

To the OP...if you really think you'll be doing a lot of walking in your bike shoes, get yourself a pair of crank brothers pedals. CB cleats are very small and fit far inside the tread of any MTB shoe, and thus, do not scrape on the ground as you walk. Shimano SPD cleats are larger and a pit more prone to peak out beyond the tread a bit and grate on the ground as you walk.
