My experience is that MTB shoes are more walkable than road shoes, because their soles usually have raised lugs which prevent the clipless pedal system cleat from contacting the floor/ground surface. My old cheap Answer MTB shoes work great with Speedplay Frogs in this regard - I can even walk in my home on wood floors without damaging floor. Most road shoes + cleats are not nearly so walkable. MTB shoes are usually heavier than road shoes and not as stiff, so some pedaling energy is lost flexing shoe sole more so than with typical road shoe. Choose your compromise.
