I have those pedals, I think they're great. I highly recommend them. I don't really like the shoes, but go with what works for you. Keep in mind, those may be heavier than regular mountain bike clip=in shoes, which you can also walk in. If you think they're too pricey, look around online for sales, just make sure you get correct sizing info. Those pedals require shimano cleats. If the shoes don't come with them you can buy them for $20.
