PrairieDog:
Look at the sole of your new bike shoes. At the ball of your foot, is there a long hexagonal kind of pattern, maybe an outline? (about the size of half a dollar bill) Your bike shop guys can use a knife to cut along that hexagon/rectangle/whatever, and peel off that piece of sole. Under that piece are recievers for cleat-screws. You don't need to buy another pair of shoes for cleats.

Ok, I just looked at mine again, and actually that removable bit is the size of 1/4 a dollar bill. My Specialized Taho's also have two ridges of sole material to the left and right of that bit, so my cleats don't touch the ground much when I walk.

Hi Knotted...yes, my cycling shoes do have the option for cleats but I'm concerned the soles aren't deep enough that I'd have to remove them to walk. I'll take my shoes with and see if that's an option or if I need to buy YET ANOTHER PAIR of cycling shoes!
