Commuting pedals / shoes

I'll be picking up my 2007 Kona Jake the Snake on Tuesday. The bike comes with Shimano PD-M505 pedals which have SPD on one side and platforms on the other. Are these pedals any good, or should I replace them?

Having never used clipless pedals before, I'm confused about the shoes. Since I'm commuting, I'd like something that I can walk in without sounding like a drunken tap dancer. Should I be looking only at MTB shoes, or will something like these Adidas Triathalon http://www.parker-international.co.u...c-16bcff729672 shoes do?

The product information says, "Great value for money triathlon shoes built for speed in transitions and on the bike". That sounds like they might be suitable for running / walking.
