...around / pushing you do you might want a more flexible sole; the more flexible the better for walking but the worse for power transfer to pedal) & fixing. Also style if you plan to walk around in them!!
I have a set M535 (LX) shimano pedals as well as a set of cheap M646 platform copies from wellgo.
On the shoe front I use Northwave arctics in the winter (the only shoe to have in the cold; Northwave use a shimano sole with their own upper), Specialized comp in summer & a set of Lake "skate stylee" shoes if I gotta walk anywhere in them!...

...I bought my stepper from TV Deals for about £40. I used it once and it broke. I sent it back and they sent me another one. The computer didn't work, it would reset but wouldn't count steps or calories or anything it should count but I couldn't be bothered with the hassle of going through the returns process again. I used it 3 times more and the resistance thing came apart. I fixed it and used it another twice. It came apart again. At 5ft 9in and 10st 9lbs, I'm not exactly a heifer either! The machine is now in a skip somewhere. Don't waste your money. Eat the right foods, go for a fast walk a few times a week and buy an exercise DVD for toning if you want to exercise at home and I think you'll probably get the same results..........

The instructions for setting up the unit are well-laid out and perfectly informative. It took me about 5 minutes to have all of the details inserted to ensure that the unit records the correct speed.
Operation:
As stated above this computer basically has just one button, on the back, operated by pressing on the bottom of the unit to 'rock' it in its cradle. This cycles through all of the options which are: time of day; time riding; distance covered; trip distance; average speed; max speed; and odometer.
The current trip is reset by pressing and holding the button for about 3 seconds. Here is possibly the only other...
