I have always used MTB shoes or street shoes with cleats:
Kursk Pro Bike Sneakers Black | Bike Sneaker SPD | Chrome Industries or
Shimano M088 Mountain Bike Shoes - Men's - Free Shipping at REI.com and I have an older pair of Shimano MTB shoes with laces. All are good for walking. I wore the Chrome all day in the office for a year or two. I've never had a pair of road shoes, since nearly every ride I go on includes my office, a store, a coffee shop, a bar, .... I only want bike shoes that allow me to walk comfortably.
