I agree that Look pedals are comfortable... but they are too awkward for commuting or utility use in my mind. One thing you can do to make Look cleats a *lot* easier to walk on is to get Kleat Kovers. They cost about $10 and slip over your cleats, which not only provides a grippy rubber surface, but also prolongs the life of the cleats. I keep them in my pocket whenever I'm riding my road bike.
