I'm going to assume that the build quality of the pros are a lot better than the regular Kurks. The pair I wear all the time have gotten super noodly and are falling apart so badly. It's probably the worst $70 I spent (thank God the other pair of Kurks I have were free.)

I get compliments on them all the time, & people are always surprised that they are clipless. With that said, all clipless shoes will have a metal shank that runs the whole way through, so they will pedal properly, which is their first priority. The Kursk Pros are not uncomfortable to walk in, but they walk pretty similar to clipless mountain bike shoes, maybe a little better.
If you want a clipless shoe, you will sacrifice some walkability, if you want a walkable sneaker, you will sacrifice power on the bike. That's all there is to it.
Cleats: I use standard Shimano cleats, with Shimano double sided pedals, platform on one, clipless on the other. They all work quite well for me.
