Hmmm. Hard to answer without a point of reference. They are mountain bike style so there is no way you need to duck walk like in road shoes or use clip covers. You can walk normally in them. They are very reasonable for walking around streets, stores or restaurants. The sole is slightly slippery (i.e. compared to a Vibram sole) and they are somewhat stiff (compared to a running shoe or cheap mtb shoes I have). So, they are good for casual walking but I wouldn't want to do difficult, long hiking in them. There are "running shoe" styles that are better for walking but the Sidi Dominators are biased towards biking.

The direct answer: You can walk normally in them.
